  Perhaps I'm wrong....

  However I feel that with 40 Billion (That'sBillion with a B") Exxon/Mobile could find a few bucks to satisfy both these arguments. $40Billion is larger than the economies of many countries around the world.

  ExxonMobil

  Yes they have tons of money but any resolution will take years. At least the Rockefeller Family is pointing in that direction.

  Taking the lead

  I agree with the $40B concept already posted. Someone needs to take the lead. Call it innovation if you will. We need petrol now, which is obvious. We shouldn't have to rely on it from other countries in the future though. We need to innovate and lead the pursuit of newer, refined energy and cut national (global) emissions while doing so. Its a common sense issue that business should be proactive in, lead, and grow. Its good business with strategic vision - and having $40B helps a good bit in this regard.

  RE: Rockefeller vs. ExxonMobile: the New

  Both sides are right.
  
  However, even being in the industry myself, we couple of individuals, have proposed a diversification "project" - in effect presented to majors in houston but with luke warm non-commital "great interest" - drag out - that, all the same, will maintain oil/gas profitabilities, demand/supply and still be able to harnes a tremendous source of energy (revenue for these Oil/Gas Companies) which is "free" from CO2, cools the environment at same time, reduces the fossil fuel requirements for the electricity industry - saving the Oil/Gas for higher value products.
  
  It is proven technology - we are just making it feasible and economic which others have not been able to.
  
  It is not wind turbines, or solar panels, or wave powers, or such ... it is in the real domain of these oil gas companies using offshore technologies.
  
  How can we get a real bang up publicity and support for this? If not then WE can have one unit designed and deployed with $100 MM which will generate 40 MW power from a 30 ft by 30 ft offshore structuure - NPV - it is 6 times cheaper to "build" than a Coal plant of same duty - alternatively it can produce 2-3 MM gallons a day of fresh water from the ocean, instead of the 40MW electricity for the grid.
  
  We have some interest but it will end up going to France or somewhere ... here we could employ a generation of industrial production while we have some headway in the technology and industrial abilities better than other parts of the world in this area ... for the next 20 years - instead of just becoming a Service based and an Oil and Gas (Companies) only economy.
  
  To raise $100MM and kept in trust of such companies as Price Water House or such ... 100 MM people giving up a $1.00 - one bag of fries or a few cigarretes or a cup of tea could fund this project without sweating any individual or a company as such!!!
  
  Now, how do we do this ? it can be deployed in less than 18-24 months, providing equipment being available.
  
  Next untits would come down in cost due to it becoming cookie cutter designs. $50 MM to $80 MM each.
  
  20 units of a different size could provide all the electricity for Texas!
  
  
  This would mean Double the rate of attack on Global Warming - No CO2, Cooling the environment, ... and to boot, no fossil fuels needed from difficult regions of the world.
  
  I can supply contact info if there is any palpable interest ...
  
  Kind regards,

  The Rockefellers

  Sister Patricia Daly, an activist who filed one of the ExxonMobil resolutions, told me that if Ford and GM had listened to similar petitions her religious order had filed back in the 1990s regarding the need for fuel efficient cars, the automakers would not be in the stew they are now in..
  She has a point.
