Well, everything ties into politics in one way or another. Unless however one posits a vast conspiracy, I suspect that the big reason is that there has not until very recently been a perceived need for anything but the petrol-fuelled internal combusion engine driven automobile. Now that those perceptions are changing, there is more and more research going towards alternatives. Some, to be sure, is impractical and some is simply undesirable if you look at the big picture (eg first-generation biofuels) but progress is being made, I think. |
