Of course they are not, they are happier ripping people off with high fuel costs rather than updating the USA's third world power grid. All governments are conniving inveterate liars in the pockets of the rich and powerful. Some years ago I worked for a large multinational company, who I can't name for legal reasons. One of the many things they were working on were more efficient fossil fuel engines. They had a 2litre Diesel engine that was capable of 200 mpg plus and they had it working fine in a popular large saloon car as a demonstrator. NO car manufacturer would take it on. Pressure from fuel companies and governments was unofficially cited as the reason by the guys in the development team. The thing was mothballed, and I'm sure it's not the first time it happened, or the last. Other projects had been canned as they would increase the life of a product many fold which scared the manufacturers as their sales would be too badly damaged.
