They've applied the 'guns don't kill people, people kill people' argument...it's not dirty energy that does this, it's the people who USE the dirty energy...THOSE are the REAL problem here.

All we did was MAKE the gun.. (and the bullets and then sell it to the Crazy Person). If the crazy person hadn't been crazy, this wouldn't be a problem. So not our fault as you can clearly see.

I think we should take this argument and run with it...
Will you give customers alternative forms of energy production?
No there isn't enough money in it.
Oh. Ok. Well I guess the govt will just have to start doing that FOR you, since our priorities can be slightly longer term than next quarters' Report.
Truly, I detest corporate america.
