The reason why, and excuse my cynicism, that wouldn't fit the CBS narrative of "big oil" = evil.
The story was about a guy who devoted his whole life to developing a new energy source that would also protect the health of the planet. Making money was not his objective. Watch the show!
I think we can all determine that Exxon-Mobil and "big oil" is none of that! They only develop new technology when forced to do so by government regulations, which have been stripped away by the new administration. Otherwise they would just strip the planet of all it's natural resources just to increase profits.
