the idea was bought by the match companies...and never released
also with electric cars...we have the technology to have electric cars that charge themselves OFF the roads themselves...as you drive.......
but why SPEND money setting up free transport for everyone...when its so much more profitable to SELL them oil...
and then TAX the oil...
if the gov would impliment this then
a. they loose VAST sums of money in tax
b. have to pay out large quantities of money
thats where money becomes a hinderance...
its like a tin-pot bannana republic dictator...its great when everything benefits you....but as soon as it become beneficial to move away from it...then you got problems...THEN your best interests are no longer what is important

I dismiss your conspiracy theories on the reusable match and the electric car. I just don't believe them.
But aside from that.... your argument is so narrow.
If money hinders technology then why are the most technologically advanced nations in the world also the most wealthy?
