Thor, cartels snuffing innovative concepts is not new. For instance the patent on aromatic compounds that give butter its unique taste were shelved for the life of the patent, I am told to avoid tasty competition from cheap margarine imitations. Of course, it does not always works, we have oversupply of butter (G). One way we inventors try to get around it, is to insist on clauses like "if you do not use it you loose it", but inventors rarely have the financial muscle in such battles. Frankly, I do not understand why fuel cells technology has taken so long to develop, gee, it is almost like Gillette, they spent a billion bucks to add a third blade to their shaver (including the marketing launch), the government has spent much more than a billion bucks (with the Fords, Lockheeds and the rest of "Corporate America"), and still have not much to show for it. I have a patent (work funded of course by the government) in the field of fuel cells and it is dated 1975 (expired of course), and I came very late to that game. Sometimes I ask myself if those contracts really seek solutions or are just "pork barrel" to the "Big Physics Establishment". Look how much has been spent so far on hot fusion (excluding hydrogen bombs, of course). Zeev

Thor, I disagree, the www internet makes your 'oil cartel' concerns passe. The problem now is that the 'homemade inventor' would rather deny the solution to 'world pollution' as retribution to a system that will prevent him from obtaining money riches from his information or invention. In the past this person had to work within the system, but now the internet gives all the power to bypass it in an information mode only. For example, working within the old system, try and make a good replacement for Bill Gates Windows OS. No success, as ones have tried. But now use the www internet. Already happening, a good start made. But no money as a reward possible. My spelling is probably wrong, along with location. Lynis OS thru man from Holland. For free, and development made by the best programmers, only for free. so anyone with solutions for world problems, put onto internet no patens or copyright just free info and if good and real it will be used and some will make money off it as Red Hat software does off Lynis but the solution will not be stopped or prevented noone or company or money can stop 'truth' as in post a way to cure cancer enough info for someone to try it and someone will try it may take time, but if real and not a scam, then .... most of those in cancer research will put it down and say no good but someone outside the 'money flow' will validate it and slowly but surly the truth will be knowned if not, and it was a real cure, then sad for the human race Doug
