Going green makes financial sense
$13.6 billion's worth of financial sense if you are one of the firms promoting it. BP announces their profits are up 23% on the oil price hike. Remember this is at a time when nearly every other business is feeling the chilling winds of a credit crunch.
So how do they manage it? I'll tell you how, its called price fixing. Something that is normally policed by the state and illegal. However the oil market is global and so not one state can do a lot on their own. Indeed, but they don't even have the will to intervene. Why is this? I'll tell you why, its because BP has gone green and every government knows that one way to stop people producing plant food (CO2) is to price it out of their reach. However, much of the energy is needed rather than being a luxury item and so in order to cut down on demand the price has to go sky high. A neat trick, don't you think. Everyone assumes oil companies are against global warming. A perfect disguise to hide the deal struck between them, the central bankers and their puppet governments.
