Cosimo you did not answer my questions! We are a strange species we think we have too many people and then we intervene with food when drought hits. When aids hits we intervene with medicine and research professionals. We talk about freedom and love yet we enslave of millions of animals in conditions that would make us instant vegetarians if we could witness them.

You made a value judgement about oil companies and that is a moral call in any philosophical system. I would be more concerned about the Chinese burning poor quality coal or diverting water sheds.

Have you not heard of Ballard Power Cells??? Mercedes Benz and other automotive giants have invested billions. Billions more have been made of the speculative after glow of the stock. ballard.com

Nature adapts quite readily to most bio-degradable types of pollution. I agree there are problems but they are not the commonly perceived ones. Farmers and chemical companies have made it so there is not a clean pristine aquifer in North America. Mass livestock production and the resulting effluent is polluting rivers and waterways. PCB's have been mixed into asphalt and spread on just about every highway in North America.

Oil companies make big juicy targets but they are not the main culprit. However, if you feel really strongly about it quit driving.
