A.M. Greenlist: Ungreen energy schemes
>> Oil companies are hardly going green, writes Edward Silver in Money & Co. "In February, BP said it would regard its impressive solar and wind operations strictly for their equity value and might spin them off. So much for Beyond Petroleum. More recently, Royal Dutch Shell withdrew from a landmark wind project in Britain and in 2006 sold the lion’s share of its solar interests to a German firm."
>> Exxon didn't pass any green proposals considered at the shareholder meeting yesterday. "All were opposed by Exxon's board of directors," and the directors prevailed. Earlier: Exxon good at making money, not good at embracing change.
>> Chevron paid to have me shot in Nigeria, writes Larry Bowoto in an op-ed about his federal lawsuit against Chevron Corp.
>> Signs of green energy growth: Junk mail goes eco, moving beyond oil schemes to “Renewable Energy Technology System” schemes. (via Grist)
>> Real new green energy coming down the pipeline: "green crude" made from algae that could be used for fuel.
