BP

BP ... Can an environmentally concerned investor buy a huge oil company? Sure---If BP is going to make money anyway, they might as well pay me (an investor) part of their profits. BP's dividend is good ( 2.14 and possibly 3 next year) They are growing...... net income (profits) grew at about 6%, even though growth estimates for revenues are about 11%... profits are 6% on $316 billion... wow, that should be nice to take part in. Enough said about the solid business....

...It's the future I'm worried about

Doubt CO2's effect on the environment? BP doesn't (unlike some others).

They have a whole web site dedicated to the future sustainability of energy and the environment .

1) decarbonized fuels ....or turning Natural Gas or Oil into hydrogen !!! .... H2 future...one day...one day....

2) BP Solar: They sell at Home Depot complete systems .... WholeFoods (WFMI) BP Solar CASE STUDY



Solar Costs are initially higher than costs can be recovered in five years.... are they woth it? Step in the Government to help the market have a little forsight and planning...
