I'm happy to hear they are accepting the existence of these various challenges we face, but I don't see them doing a whole lot to shift us from the mass-consumption status quo. Obviously, as an oil company, that would be difficult without radically restructuring their incentives. But they still come across as an inertia filled bad guy here... I'm not saying they have to be the lead in changing the world, but I know they can do better!
