It’s been illegal in the US under national security directives since 1956 to improve mpg of the internal combustion engine by more then 80%.
I wonder why they do this crap?
I understand why they suppress LENR and other types of super science. I may not entirely agree but I understand some the arguments might have a little bit of legitimacy.
if every Joe Schmo had something equivalent to a nuclear bazooka we'd all have a bad time
What is the point of stopping cars from having 100 MPG though? It just seems nasty and petty to me. Like they hate people and want them to be trapped in the rat race.
They're artificially adjusting the standard of living down for no legitimate purpose that I can discern.
Well I wouldn’t attempt to say it’s justified, but from their point of view with a priority on control, stopping a car from doing 100mpg makes perfect sense. If you take the cost of energy or fuel out of every product you buy, they’d all be discounted by 90%. And you would only need to work 5-10hrs/week instead of 40-50 in order to pay your bills. Societies priorities and interests would shift 180 overnight for better or worse (likely better).
Eg. If you took the total fuel and electricity cost out of oil exploration and refinery, gas would cost $0.10/gal and all food prices would drop by half or more.
It's hard to play devil's advocate looking at it in that light. They just seem irredeemably horrible.
a boot stamping on a human face..... forever
That’s the government for you. Their intentions are almost never beneficial.
