there are so many patterns in the way things like this go
the popular use of recording media on magnetic tape offered these ppl the same challenges....
they didnt learn that then so they must push to do it the hard way....

the oil companys on the other hand have more power than ever and have thwarted many attempts to create new forms of
energy sources that would replace the current methods of tranportation, and are quite happy to keep making money from polluting the planet with their products by vehicle emmissions and their leaking boats (that last spill is most horrible and quite distressing)something still needs to be done about them too!
