It is his plea for a class action against Chevron to prohibit the manufacture of NiMH batteries large?

I recently read (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_electric_vehicle) that Chevron owns the rights to large NiMH batteries high technology needed to manufacture emmission effective zero electric cars, and thought there should be several reasons to sue for this short calous located and action, whether the environment (http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,, 1,877,413.00. html) economic, health reasons (promoting the spread of cancer only runs for-profit) or monopolize energy dependence. This could also be applied to other potentially beneficial technologies that are being suppressed by the patent system through very much greed and not enough vision?

————— For those tha do not know history, the NiMH battery was developed by a small research company in Michigan, and was used in both GM EV-1 electric car, and Toyota RAV 4 EV electric car. After the recall and crushing all ev1s (see the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car 'to this story) GM sold the NiMH battery patent to Chevron / Texaco, who have refused to make them available to the builders electric car. * This is what has hampered development of electric vehicles of recent years. The NiMH battery is remarkable, and gave the EV-1 to 150-driving range miles. Some electric vehicles from Toyota are still on the road, and have put over 100,000 miles in these batteries, with no sign of failure yet. * The reason may be difficult to sue Cobasys (the Chevron / Texaco had to leave the batteries) is because the details of the legal agreements made with Panasonic and Toyota have not been made public. The conditions under which companies can use patents are rumored, but not in writing for the public to see. Bottom line, if you want Cobasys bad enough to keep NiMH batteries in electric cars, all you have to do is keep the price high enough to be impractical. That is against the law. * Over time (several more years) the patent rights expire in any case. In addition, several battery technologies, including next best, and at least a dozen projects really interesting electric cars in the works. * For example, the Tesla electric sports car: * * The http://www.teslamotors.com Tesla accelerates faster than a Ferrari, and gets 250 miles per charge. The batteries last at least 100,000 miles. However, the Tesla is too expensive. Here's a cheaper one: Http://www.milesautomotive.com/products_xs200.html * * Here is one from Mitsubishi that next year could be ready – this car can be charged in 20 minutes: * * Most of these cars http://aftermarket.autoblog.com/2006/10/12/mitsubishi-looks-ahead-with-an-electric-i/ not be ready until next year, as very soon. What if you want to buy today? The most economical electric car is a conversion. Conversions seem average car, and speed and normally handle. Cars like this can be had for as little as $ 5000.
