Your statements are confused. If you insist on condemning Shell to research on subjects that are not their business, you don’t understand business.
Their business is oil, not pie in the sky. That is to be left for others, for the market. May be they will succeed or maybe they will fail but that is not the concern of Shell.
Have you invested your money in alternative energy? Why not?
I wouldn’t call what I said a condemnation.
How would the market fund alternative energy research? Surely not through donations. It will have to be done by corporations with deep pockets or governments. We would all certainly complain about more taxes for research. I would hope that there would be a shred of altruism somewhere within some of the big energy conglomerates.
I don’t have enough money to invest in alternative energy, unless the few mutual funds I do have are doing it.
