too close to home

It seems there's an entire theory in the alternative energy underground that the company i work for (i tend to never mention here the name of my current employer) is essentially responsible for undermining the development of hybrid, plug in hybrid and even pure electric vehicles in the U.S.

This new data is highly detrimental to the paradigm.

It all revolves around legal action taken by my company and it's parents to defend battery chemistry technology, allegedly copied by Panasonic and Toyota. Alliances with oil companies make the plot go 'round, supplying a ready-made antagonist and conspiracy. I am so very... confused and It will take much time to absorb and react to this new information.

I want to believe in the goodness. It's what makes the 10 hours days go by so quickly and what makes you want to spend the first warm day of the year thermally profiling a new heat management system for the '09 model because there is so much science to be done and so few people.

What's most important now is informing the overlords that the master plan has been revealed... No one is falling for the ruse of a small group of people driving hybrids and riding their bikes to work because it's the most rewarding job you can find in a place like Detroit. Then again, if i was the evil management and wanted to convince everyone i wasn't choking-out battery technology, I'd hire a bunch of idealistic fools too.

More science is needed.

Don't worry, we're all just pawns in this laughable pointless charade.

In the end, you'll even find out that you were against you the whole time. That's when the real inovation will begin.

hmm... it seems you are part of the problem! Like a light rail engineer working for GM!

I, for one, would never be caught working for an organization that didn't have the most idealistic interests of humanity as it's core!

I think it is completely deplorable that you would work for and take a paycheck from an entity that basically exists to expand its own power over humanity. Especially one that fills itself with idealistic fools to disguise its real motivations! I can't believe I even know you...
