TREASON- Oil Companies CONTROL battery market - TO INCREASE AMERICAN DEPENDENCE ON foreign OIL...

<< The way they operate is by patent infringement suits through the courts and then they settle by limiting the size of the batteries they will allow to be manufactured; and by having "friendly courts" issue a non disclosure order to the losing battery manufacturer so there are no public record of the settlement. This is the reason you haven't seen a Plug-in Toyota in the market place. Toyota is simply not allowed to buy larger batteries. >>

Cobasys is a joint venture between ChevronTexaco Technology Ventures—a subsidiary of ChevronTexaco—and Energy Conversion Devices (Ovonics). These are the oil people, who now call themselves energy companies and are currently controlling the NiMH battery market. And, now they are going for control of the Li-Ion battery market. Notice there are few independent oil companies now and notice how the major companies are merging for more control of the energy business. Bp-Arco being the latest.

The way they operate is by patent infringement suits through the courts and then they settle by limiting the size of the batteries they will allow to be manufactured; and by having "friendly courts" issue a non disclosure order to the losing battery manufacturer so there are no public record of the settlement. This is the reason you haven't seen a Plug-in Toyota in the market place. Toyota is simply not allowed to buy larger batteries.

These energy companies are very busy working with other energy device and fuels manufacturers to make sure they protect their oil market and energy investments by controlling all forms of energy in the U.S. The oil companies are in the solar cell business and the alternative energies business as well and in the battery business.

All this big business control serves to slow down the development and time to market of other forms of energy. Good for their profits; bad for the consumers and worse for Global Warming.

I think it's time for a investigative reporter to gather this information and make it public so that our Congress has to address the issue. Where is Thomas Friedman when you need him?
