Want proof that BIG OIL has no soul, take this case in point. At the recent GO-Expo, Canada's largest petrochemical conference representatives who claimed to be with Exxon and the National Petroleum Council introduced Vivoleum, a new synthetic fuel made from organic waste. In this case the waste they propose using was human bodies. The logic went as follow. Natural disasters kill thousands of people in developing countries, and rather than waste their bodies, they can be turned into fuel through a revolutionary new process. The alleged representatives made their case in front of 300 oil men who simply nodded and listened.
They even lit candles made from (allegedly) Vivoleum, or human flesh. Seems nobody caught on to the guerrilla theatre that was taking place until a video ran with a video tribute to the janitor who requested his body be turned into fuel for research. Turns out it was a prank played by activists.
Grim joke. Yes, but seems the oil execs didn't think it was a joke at first and blythly listened to the scheme. Proof they have no soul and little regard for human life? Seems like it to me. Of course had Dick Cheney been there he would have already made a deal to corner the Vivoleum market.
