Catchet/Peep, I'm not going to get involed in this debate. I don't believe any of this nonsense. There's been a class action lawsuit filed aginst the hybrid mfg's. because of their hugely inflated gas mileage claims. In real world driving there is a few mpg difference between a hybrid and gas vehicle. That's all, period. Hybrid technology is still being developed and will take years to perfect.
The power battery cannot be massed produced at this time. Period. It's still a few years away from mass production. It's basically a 'hand made' novelty. Isn't that obvious?
Are the Chinese part of the conspiracy? They're looking for cutting edge products but passed on PWTC. They mfg. their own cars and battery/electric bikes for a truly huge market but pass on a 'ready' powerbattery? My arse. I think the powerbattery isn't 'real world' practical. I doubt the 'big 3' or the '7 sisters' got to the Chinese. How anyone could really believe that is amazing.
My belief:
1. LB comes across as a snake oil salesman
2. A cursory background check reveals he is a snake oil salesman!
3. Practical people walk away.
If the power battery could be mass produced and be cost effective and turn a profit, it would be. Period. The truth is not 'out there' but right in front of your nose.
LB is clown shoes and will never be anything but. You want a conspiracy theory? How about a kickback deal between mgt. and outside consultants that gives everyone a cut of the action?
