But why would they sit on it?
It could be a disgustingly huge goldmine for them. Instead of having to rely on market prices for oil they could be making their own fuel! The cost of production is a mere fraction of what oil costs and they could either screw over other companies by always being a little cheaper or they could stay at market price and people will still buy it because it was made here. |
I don't think this is a technology that could be easily controlled. There are likely too many methods to all be patented by one party. Besides, being carbon neutral would be a huge advantage once CO2 controls get serious.

If I was Cobasys, I'd be doing the same exact thing.
They do supply large NiMH batteries, how is that squelching the market of them? |
From what I've read, in actuality they refuse to make or sell the batteries to anyone. I wouldn't blame them for wanting to corner the market, but then if they do so and don't sell a product they're squelching it.
|
From their website it looks like they supply batteries for the Saturn Aura hybrid and the Saturn Vue hybrid as well as NiMH batteries for hybrid buses and such.
Hmm... I'll do some good old social engineering to get more answers. |
The hearsay that I've read could be wrong...I have no reason to believe it deeply. I was just using it as an example. My point was just that ExxonMobil could do something jerky with the project and I hope that they don't.
