Money does talk. We've had recent past presidents whose families money came from Texas oil, and others in the past as well. The switchover to electric vehicle is happening much slower than it should be as big oil money to politicians , and from investors, keeps the electric transportation industry from reaching its full potential. Politicians supported by oil companies will never vote for bills to add charging stations to highways from DOT funds so your electric car can't take you far. And somebody's got to supply that power. Maybe the electric utility companies can take on the oil companies for the market share of fuel/power supply. Of course whomever has more money will win that influence fight..
