They have had their hand in the death of photovoltaic companies, the purchase of Solarex by Exxon. Solarex continues to function, but has lagged behind in better technology. One California company died mysteriously when they were able to use edge-defined growth, which drastically lowers the cost of photovoltaic production. The oil industry also lobbied sucessfully to kill mass-transit in favor of the inefficient system that we now have. I would expect them to worm their way into the nano-phosphate business through smaller investment groups, until they can fraudulently destroy new ideas from the new battery industry. They don't develope energy technology to help us, and they'll likely leave us in the dark in the future. They pay off their stockholders instead of investing in other-than- combustion technologies. IT'S TIME FOR CONGRESS TO SMELL THE COFFEE. The oil companies have repeatedly interfered with energy-saving technologies.

It is encumbent upon those in control of the EV industry related companies to carefully consider the source of venture capital and any decision to go IPO. Once public, it is too easy for oil and oil industry companies to gain controlling interest and shut down the development. Or worse, intentionally develop faulty technology and create a stage for highly publicized, guaranteed to fail tests that will turn public opinion against EV technology. Exactly.

The profits in oil are just too large to be allowed to be endangered by new technologies.
