    Well, as more and more people become not only more aware of Global Warming but concerned about what companies are contributing to it and that they cannot influence opinion, they're going to want to be on the "winning" side. Opinion polls have their place. In this I think Exxon Mobile is a little smarter than the Big 3. I also think Exxon Mobile and the other companies are looking at how they can cash in on the new technology that is going to come out of this and how they are going to maintain their hold on energy. Since Sunlight and Wind are free, they'll have to look at some other way to become a middle man.

    Both Shell and BP are in the solar business. BP also is in wind.

    I wonder if this plays any part at all? Could be just propaganda but my source that links me to this stuff usually ends up right. *shrug*

    So, that war *was* all about oil after all?

    Gee, big surprise.

    Anyone still want to impeach Bush so Cheney can move up to be President?

    Thought so.

    Gosh, could it be...a 6-year-old quid pro quo...?

    "No coalition of the willing, no Majnoon (and Total's just a breakfast cereal <_< )"?

    Nah... ;)
