- vortice, on 11/24/2007, -0/+0This piece reads like a promotional blurb for the oil company. Anyway, if Chevron is investing in let’s say wind power, it is only good business sense. They are diversifying, that’s all.
Oil is not forever. Although there is enough of the black stuff to feed our appetites for a long time to come, it has been decided that we should get off it. So the companies that are into oil exploration are looking around to find things to do with their money that are going to guarantee future income.
In that sense, we will see these companies investing in technologies that are too capital intensive to be used by consumers directly. The aim is of course to continue to be our energy suppliers.
I personally prefer the use of distributed power generation, where everyone has their own means to generate power. That could be solar, wind, hydrogen from water, or some new way of making electricity that no one is telling you about yet.
Look around and don’t get blinded by oil companies getting into “alternative energy”.
