btw not conspiracy read their electric car section,

Chevron Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Chevron is currently squelching all access to large NiMH batteries through its control of patent licenses in order to remove a competitor to gasoline.[13] This culminated in a lawsuit against Panasonic and Toyota over production of the EV-95 battery used in the RAV4 EV. However the Lithium-ion battery appears to be making up for this despite Chevron's best efforts, albeit, at a higher price."

Evil yes, when you are willing to do anything to protect profits no matter the cost.
