hahaha,
from wired magazine 2yrs ago.BP
Black & Green Machine
Most Sales: $285 billion
The energy giant's solar business edged into the black for the first time in 2004, with annual sales of photovoltaic products reaching $400 million. That's just one sign the company is truly beyond petroleum. BP is also curbing greenhouse gas emissions and boosting energy efficiency throughout its internal operations. One promising initiative: low-cost wireless sensors that monitor oil wells, predict equipment failure on ships, and control heat and light in offices.
Challenge: Silence critics who accuse BP of "greenwashing" - making token investments in alternative energy for the PR value. Beefing up commitments to wind and other renewables would help.
Opportunity: Build the infrastructure for the hydrogen revolution. Hydrogen cars won't rule the road until there are fueling stations to serve them.
