The company should be looking at the survivability of their company in the face of the future of little or no oil.<br /><br />You may be right that the BP best and the brightest of engineers, geologists, accountants, etc. are actually too stupid to realize what the future of peak oil holds for their corporation.<br /><br />Or as I think, they believe in the long term availability of oil and that is why they are not investing more into alternatives. After all, with the real or manufactured shortages of the future oil will likely bring in more massive profits (as you rightly point out). The government is also geared toward a future of fossil energy (no matter what they pretend) and barring any other super disasters and the actuality of peak oil, we will be addicted to gasoline for as long as the multinationals can pull big profits from it. <br /><br />But thanks for the well written and well reasoned response.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107478047417586641noreply@blogger.com
