Credibility is hampered by the mindless brainwashing of Madison Avenue over the past 50 years. When folks go to the supermarket each week they are influenced subconsciously by what they saw in advertising. When is the last time you bought ABC Soda?? magazines and Trade publications will brag and report with gusto, what ever their advertisers want them to publish. Quid Pro Quo. So where does somrthing new come into the mix. It took Microsoft 8 years to get off the ground. Has it not been for the contract to run IBM PC's they might still be in the dark. Sustainability is a poor choice of words. It is mis used and not understood. For the extremists, It's all or nothing. Folks aks their mechanical folk about it, and the mechanics know nothing. They have their licsence to steal. What more do they need? The consumer will fall back on what they know. What they are told. What they are told is who spends the most money telling them, in advertising and information sources. Information sources will tell you what ever their heavy advertisers tell them to tell you. You do what you are told. Whgat else is there? We are all resistant to change. Advertisers know that. They will spend what ever they have to to protect their current way of doing things. The energy field is no different. Be it Oil, Gas, or electric, there is little will or need to change. To them global warming is not even in the mix. They just write blogs to defeat what ever is reported, true or false. If your a new technology, it is the fellows with the advertising budgets that will determine how you do. If they buy you it will be for little or nothing. You will not go anywhere without the advertising budget. If you go it alone your costs will exceed your profits. If you have a patent, the big guys will let it expire or steal it. If they steal it, they have the budget to keep you in court till your broke. Problem: How to influence the big guy with the advertising budget. Don't count on Government. They are just like the magazines. Lobbies control what government does. Look at BP and the Bureau of mines. The entire Industry blew them off.
