It's pretty goddamn depressing to see the incessant cheerleading on corporate "greening" and "investment in 'green' technology". There's money to be made, and the futhamuckas that have polluted and continue to pollute the planet want to be sure they control the "green economy". Of course, the bottom line is that if that happens, we're doomed. We may be already ... but that would definitively put the final nail in the coffin, wouldn't it? Keep that in mind the next time you see a Chevron, BP et al ad touting their "commitment to the environment". The only commitment they have is to squeeze as much green from being "green" as they can possibly manage. This is just another example of the corporatization of "green".
