Nothing like using the government through regulation to enhance your own business!

One of us read this article wrong. I understood it to say that the wackos were trying to get ExxonMobil to back Kyoto and used the point that it would cripple the coal industry as a reason why ExxonMobil should support Kyoto. ExxonMobil refused. Had your remark been directed at Enron you would have been correct.

You are right, Enron stood to gain much from implementing Kyoto. I wasn't thinking about ExxonMobil or Enron as much as the way DuPont used environmental fears to outlaw Freon which would have become unprofitable once their patents ran out.

DuPont owns patents on most of the Freon replacements which are very profitable.
