re: #372 Cineaste

Also, what makes you believe this? It may be true. But where oil companies have their biggest investments are largely in places & methods that are not beneficial for many of the future proposed energy solutions.

Huh? We have no immediate replacements for oil/gas/coal as primary energy sources on a global scale (the French may have managed 70% of their electricity on nuclear, but their cars still use gasoline).

If you believe in capitalism, future proposed energy solutions will take the prize when they are no longer proposed and if you think existing energy companies are not aware of that but think they can delay the day by supporting assholes instead of putting their intellect to work, then you have little faith in human ambition.
