If you discovered an alternative to oil, would they kill you?
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Imagine yourself a young researcher who discovers an incredible new source of energy, an inexhaustible and clean source that will eliminate oil as a fuel source. Word leaks out and the Oil companies try to buy for millions, maybe billions, but you’re determined to give your technology away to the world for free. Idealistic fool! Anyway, with they’re enormous profits at stake, would your life be worth a plug nickel? The image is that of course no legitimate business would ever resort to murder, but how legitimate is that idea? With billions at stake would business ethics still hold? BILLIONS?

Haha! Talk about idealism! Do you really believe that shareholders have any say or even any KNOWLEDGE of the high-level decisions the oil co’s make? They may as a group ‘own’ the company but they sure as hell don’t run it! And as long as the dividends keep flowing, they don’t ask many questions, either.
