Oil, automotive, manufacturing, and power companies already
have machines that they make huge ammounts of money
from. They would have to make new machines to support
new technology... America wants to profit *RIGHT NOW*, and
the future means nothing. If you can get rich today, who
cares about tomorrow?

If an individual or a team were to invent the new technology
(or manufacture new machines with the information that
has been available for more than 50 years), the large
companies squash them. Media, oil, auto, power, they
all feed eachother, and they all support eachother. If
you make a new technology that competes with the
big guys, the media won't advertise it.

We're all going to burn this planet dead, while a few
get rich.

blackened is the end.
