I was replying to MacMann, who I'm assuming doesn't know the specifics of the lawsuit and therefore can't know the merits of the case. I would like to know the specifics of the lawsuit in order to have an opinion on the merits of the case. Or, should I just take any lawsuit at face value and rule in favor of the plaintiff based on my assumptions and potentially unrelated research (DEPENDING on the specifics of the case)?
Thanks for the linked info, truly. I didn't really expect it. But, thank you. The Streetcar Conspiracy is a good example of how Standard Oil and others were found responsible for reducing mass transit, in order to increase demand for their own products (ICE vehicles, gas, oil), thereby hindering progress of reducing dependence on or use of fossil fuels. I don't see Puerto Rico mentioned in the Wikipedia article, though. And, the battery patent encumbrance is definitely another good example. Again, nothing about Puerto Rico specifically. In any case, I can research what's only about things that fossil fuel companies may be responsible for in Puerto Rico. But, If Puerto Rico is suing, I would like to know their specific argument.
And, no, I don't know the answers to my original questions, which is why I asked them. I don't know how I can ask for information without asking questions. MacMann didn't ask questions. MacMann made assumptions and assertions. If MacMann does know the answers to my questions, then maybe MacMann's post was worthy. If not, it's not worthy. Since my reply was genuinely curious, and actually in support of hearing the lawsuit, I think it's worthy.
