I would just say that if it weren't for us, there would be no hybrids
being developed at all. Your analysis may be true for Third world
countries, etc., but has very little impact on Europe or the US, which
will be the major market for any type of alternative energy motive power
- hence our approach is light years ahead, at least in my opinion.
