Or because they know it's off limits. Since every single big "business" in existence these days depends on continued credit and other forms of government largesse, they all know they'll never get the financing needed for this tech.
A new thing now is to use a micro turbine to power an electrical vehicle.
Electric cars have been around for more than a century. They would have had this idea in Lee Iacocca's time. But some ideas are simply un-financeable.
Did you even absorb what DueProcessFan had to say? The technology had operational down-sides, which would have prevented widespread customer acceptance. Just because something is nifty does not mean it is good for service. Chrysler continued development into the 1970s, but was unable to eliminate the thorniest problems. The closest we get to it is the turbocharged engine, which is a hybrid of a turbine engine and a piston engine. The piston engine is inserted in place of the turbine combustor. This was done commonly in military aircraft from World War II to the complete replacement of piston engines by turbine engines.
And yet it was good enough for military applications. They don’t want us to have such high efficiency technology because then we’d be less dependent on the gas they happily charge us a fortune for.
