James May vs Paper Work

Nicked it off of James Mays BBC series - Big Ideas, Its the endnote where he recaps his thoughts on that episode. I think he pretty much sums up why technical development does or does not happen. Its also easily translates into other areas of development.

And James. If youre reading this. I think this topic is worth its own series.

Oil companies are a big reason we don't have alternative fuels or other transportation options

[bodanerius]

@Dayberry But not the biggest reason. By far

[weselefigara]

true.

[macher001]

He's got a point, but maybe it's the OPEC's paper work...

@Dayberry dont be stupid.

alternative fuesl exist but they are less effecient to produce than normal gas.

if they are to be produced in large quantities they do more harm than good.
