As oil demand continues to rise globally, and the price of gasoline continues ever higher, the media has been forced to look much harder at alternatives. People are clamoring for relief from the spiraling gasoline burden, and the media has realized that the big news isn’t coming out of the Big Three auto manufacturers, but from smaller, more aggressive companies such as Hybrid Technologies, and the media is paying close attention.
Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: HYBR) is the emerging leader in the development and marketing of lithium-powered products worldwide. Their advances in lithium battery technology and power regulation have been making headlines at smaller, more regional newspapers for years. But recently that coverage has become national, as evidenced by the recent major-market media attention that has been focused on the company.
Just last week, the Voice of America broadcasting company, whose network broadcasts to an estimated 115+ million people across the globe, did a 7-minute segment on HYBR’s electric cars and their research and development facility in North Carolina. They highlighted the lithium battery technologies that Hybrid is developing, and their all electric vehicles. But in less than a week’s time we find that even more major media is hot on their trail, as Hybrid’s R & D facility and their engineering design team were just filmed by TreasureHD for a segment on lithium powered vehicles that will be aired in the coming month.
Treasure HD airs nationwide on the Dish satellite network (channel 9473), on the East Coast on Cablevision (channel 724), and in more than forty countries worldwide. Combine that coverage with the Voice of America’s reach, and just these two venues will inform over 150 million people of Hybrid Technology’s capabilities – and these are simply the latest entries in a string of ever-increasing media attention. In just the past two months, Hybrid Techologies has been seen on NBC, ABC, Fox news, Popular Mechanics, Motorsports Industry News, WBT Talk Radio, and many other major carriers.
There was a period not long ago where oil was just $12 dollars a barrel, gasoline was under a buck, and alternative methods of generating energy, or transforming transportation, was simply taken as the ranting of some “fringe” environmental groups. Now, with global warming, $130-dollar oil, $4-dollar gas, and an ever more crowded world, those fringe elements don’t appear to be fringe any longer. They have become mainstream, and the media is focusing on the companies that have a legitimate chance of changing things for the better. Hybrid Technologies is one of those companies, and it’s a pretty sure bet that more media coverage will be aimed at them. Keep an eye out for new developments.
