Is it oil companies, it is isn't it, it's oil companies?
Those pesky oil companies getting in the way of technology.
You are probably closer to the truth than you realise - oil was one of reasons I alluded to earlier a few pages back.
The sale of oil is a major contributor to the world's economy. Without the need for oil, or less of it, we would possibly see a collapse of the economy globally.
In short, keeping the supply and demand will continue to bring wealth and power - eliminating that need for oil in vehicles and aircraft too quickly would eliminate or reduce that wealth and power substantially.
It would make sense if the US government had the means of propulsion without the need for oil, they would keep it under wraps for specialist use or requirements. But when I say, "government" I really mean US military black projects, because I very much doubt that elected officials are behind the running of these so-called black projects. It's more likely private contractors and unelected civil servants that remain despite the change in political powers, are more in-the-know about these things than most elected officials.
Also, don't discount the pull these large companies have on legislation and policies, look at the NRA for example and the military-industrial complex.
