Still need to finish watching...

Earlier in the documentary one of the Exxon Mobile execs being interviewed said they did a "soup to nuts" analysis of alternative energy and determined none were anywhere near viable. That 100% explains why they continued to be a petroleum company instead of something else. A company has to be viable, and there's no getting around that.

The thing that drives me crazy is the hypocrisy of most of those in the green religion.

Imagine a person purchasing beer at a checkout counter while heaping shame upon the cashier for selling something that's harmful to humans.

Some in the green religion want to portray the oil industry as a super evil enterprise that cons good people into a product they wouldn't normally want. The consumer is the other half of the equation, so where's the part of the documentary vilifying all of humanity? We're free to live without petroleum derived products but choose to have them. If there was no demand, that industry would vanish.
