Good one Bill (the Gore bit): I threw that gas thought out as it's a huge industry that could easily be taken out & with it 100's of thousands of jobs, jobs that pay taxes etc .. plus all the spin off things that are affected. We very likely could have done some major changes to the engine over the past 15 years but there too is the rub .. Gas Industry .. The gov't stands to loose all that tax on gas sales & income tax from those that loose jobs .. the spin off is very big that's where I can actually see a gov't killing a project .. of course this would never be public. Just a few thoughts, I'm sure they may have come up before. So I go back to Ford needs to buy this product & control it. Hey Bill I'm no expert, just thinking out loud. Mike Ballard does have the goods that's for sure.
