a little greenwashing never hurt anyone...even EXXON

so, finally, exxon has cut ties with the competitive enetrprise institute. they were previously funding campaigns to to make people questions global warming and making claims that global warming and carbon dioxide were not an issue. now it seems, since the dems have control of the house and senate, Big Oil has decided to start changing itself a little. we all prefer to do our own greenwashing as opposed to being forced to scrub up in a major way by congress. i don't have full faith that exxon is actually going to make a huge change, hey there's still a little oil left. why should they actually encourage people to keep them from using up every last drop. however, maybe they hvae seen the glaringly bright light at the end of the short tunnel, or have counted the last few drops of liquid gold that are in their pipes, and realize that there has got to be more money to be made elsewhere. why not fund research in to alternative fuel, which will eventually become the fuel of the present? and make a few bucks....
