"Covering up and suppressing is not the same. American companies knew about the hybrid technology all along."

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! This technology has existed for some time, and could have been produced much sooner, but the Auto lobby and the Oil lobby suppressed it and used political influence to do so. Can anyone think of any prominent Republican politicians who have a singificant monetary interest in Big Oil? Anyone, anyone, Buehler?

Thats' right, Ferris, GEORGE H. W. BUSH, and his sons, including but not limited to PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH!! (AKA BIG ENUS AND LITTLE ENUS)

VERY GOOD, FERRIS!


"The manufactures do not need the government to tell them to do it,"

No, but the government has had a direct hand in preventing this technology from being developed and implemented sooner, having been unduly influenced by the aforementioned BIG OIL, and the Auto industry.


"If there really was a high enough demand for super energy efficient vehicles, the manufacturers would surely build them."
