19.2Who Will Complain:
Hybrid PT appears to be a win-win, however, in today’s political environment there is no doubt that some will find a way to criticize, and attempt to block, System implementation. Oil companies will loose business. Foreign countries that produce oil will loose part of the $700 Billion that departs the U.S. each year in their favor. Roadway contractors and subcontractors, their accountants, designers, lawyers, consultants, and laborers will all object to Hybrid PT’s form of progress. Others will try to make the concept, and development process, overly complicated in order to stall or confuse lawmakers. Some will say that the System discriminates against persons who can’t afford to purchase a PRT Hybrid compliant vehicle. Some will offer to increase their congressional campaign contributions for a “no” vote on Hybrid PT. Hybrid PT is, however, a cause where the greater good dramatically outweighs the individual considerations.
