Please, Matt...what you're saying is partially true and partially not true. What's wrong with oil companies investing in future technologies? Nothing. You're referring to Chevron buying the patents to NiMh batteries, which a. gave them tons of research opportunities, and b. the patents expire in two years.
Chevron, believe it or not, is at the forefront of alternative energy research:
I'm all for them doing that but it's largely too little too late as I see it. My frustration with oil has more to do with the environmental disasters even aside from the gulf. Man's preoccupation with profit over people's lives is the bottom line, which for me there is no middle ground with.
eta:That's a puff piece of marketing more than much substantial information. I gave you science on the alien which you didn't even acknowledge. tee hee
