To add to what pappy just said, politics ALWAYS trumps commercially and ecologically viable ideas such as the AOT.
Yes, the AOT is all of that, but the present administration wants and will give electric powered cars all the economic advantages that a corrupt government can provide to fulfill it's leftist agenda.
We can only hope that Cecil et al are smart enough to emphasize the tremendous marketing potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pump station operating costs enough to get the attention of the greenies so that they'll grudgingly support it's success despite their animus toward all things petrol-related.
We all know the truth that solar, wind, battery, etc. will NOT replace oil and gas for powering the US economy until much closer to 2050. And, this assumes that fusion technology can be brought to the level of demonstration project status within the next 10 years. IF it happens, this will brings us to 2032 or so.
How many major new energy technologies have been developed into commercial viability countrywide in 15 years or less? I can't recall any.
My point: Unless Cecil et al can create not only a WORKING AOT but also create the MOTHER OF ALL ECO-FRIENDLY MARKETING PLANS with the backing of the ENTIRE ENERGY sector to go with it...
Well, otherwise, we'll see QSEP and its AOT go the way of Nikola Tesla relegated to picking up the scraps that Thomas Edison (backed by the the BIGGEST WALL STREET PLAYERS of his day) dropped by accident on his way to worldwide commercial success and notoriety. Not saying that he deserved it. He didn't! Study the true story of Tesla's genius and Edison's business machinations. Edison is no different than the corrupt politicians and techno-ideologues currently running our government.
IT IS WHAT IT IS!
Take a lesson from history, Cecil! It's your move now. Tread smartly and carefully for your next few moves with the AOT and its marketing. You must get this RIGHT now. There will be no second chances!
GLTA!
