Time for big Oil to invest in Renewables


It’s high time Exxon invested it’s vast resources in renewables.
I can think of 3 reasons to leave the stuff in the ground:
-leave it for future generations.
-end wrecking our natural resources to get it.
-the best way to capture carbon is to leave it in the ground.
-it’s last centuries energy, it was a great source for building our empire but we’ve evolved. it’s time to move on to smarter energy.
Some facts:
-100 sq. miles of solar panels would power the US alone.
-wind generators installed in our windy areas would power the US alone.
-geothermal, wave generators (I live on the coast), algae biofuels, etc would create industries, jobs and energy independence.
Combine all of our renewable sources and the US becomes an energy exporter. That’s as American as you can get.
