huffingtonpost.com — Shell smashed all-time British company profit records today, posting 2007 earnings of $27.5billion (£13.9billion), and immediately ran into a storm with union leaders, who are demanding the Government hits the oil giant with a windfall tax.

The one solace I can take in this is that their greed will soon make it necessary to find alternatives to using the oil they profit from. As the expression goes, necessity is the mother of all invention.

The CRX HF? Are you retarded? don't get me wrong I want one to cruise around in(its like a go kart) but you have to be borderline crazy to want to drive it daily. One small accident and you are toast, the reason why we no longer have cars like it isn't some major secret we are trying to keep people alive.

This will be either the smartest or stupidest comment on here:Is it possible to create a non-profit corporation that sells gas to the public? Yes - maybe - no - why not?

They made that profit by moving a huge volume of their product not by over charging by the unit. 7.8% is not a huge ROI.
