Hopefully, this investment will pay off for America's energy future......

Giving money to Harvard and hoping for results that will benefit free enterprise is naive.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Why is the title of this post “SHELL OIL BUYS HARVARD”

Are you two anti-energy? The ultra liberal TV show Boston Legal, had a skit similar to the tenor of your posts, ie;
any donation by an Energy Company to the “Collegiate Atmosphere” is automatically tainted.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Sorry about my post, I didn’t fully read yourss before reacting.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

I am positing that the current state of academe is so leftist and anti-business that the money is likely to produce no usable results for Shell.

Shell gives Harvard money....Harvard says thanks and say they will use it .

It's a Pay-off....I hope it pays off.

Donating to the school of government for energy research. What’s wrong with this picture?

I saw that episode. I like the show....but you are right.....It has a stiff liberal bent

Google "John Holdren".

Harvard?? Why not one of the premier petroleum engineering schools? Like Texas A&M, University of Texas, Colorado School of Mines.

[rface]

probably because bribe money does more good when given to Harvard, than when it’s given to ....Colorado School of Mines, although Co. School of Mines would probably give Shell Oil beter usable research for actual energy issues

Harvard??

Google "John Holdren".

...is automatically tainted.

Such foolishness has been going on a long time. The following is an excerpt from U. Nebraska's history.

http://www.unl.edu/ucomm/aboutunl/history.shtml
"The university began to outgrow its original four-block city campus, and in 1906 constructed a student activity center, known as the Temple Building. Matching funds for the construction of this building were given by petroleum magnate John D. Rockefeller, a friend of Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews. The donation created an uproar among such Nebraska populists as William Jennings Bryan, who considered Rockefeller's oil money to be tainted."

This is satire, right?.............

It's quite possible that they already have, though I wouldn't expect to read much about it in the Harvard Crimson.

[purpleraine]

I got as far as John and Teresa Kerry and stopped.

[RightWhale]

‘An focus’?

[rogue yam]

Heinz, not Kerry. You really should work on your attention span if you want seriously to engage the issues of the world.

[BOBTHENAILER]

good catch.....thanks for the posting
