Answer #1

Sometimes the wrong things just get banned for stupid reasons.

Answer #2

The first thing he should do I think is going to patent office and have it approved. Then make press converence so that people would know what he gets before government banned it.

Answer #3

youll get a patent and then all the multinational corporations will work through legislature and rhetoric to discredit and besmirch your invention because it threatens the status quo of their current exorbitant profit margins… It happened to Nikola Tesla, among many others.

Answer #4

That isn’t exactly what happened. GM killed the EV1 but no doubt the oil friendly Bush administration made it easier. There is an excellent documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car” that looks at the whole mess.

Answer #5

i think it happens all the time

Answer #6

I think that you need to make sure you do not have opinions and speculations posing as facts before I answer this question.
