HIP PERSPECTIVES:
"There Will Be...Oil? Green Energy? How Will You Invest?"
Are Big Oil companies like Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell positioned for the growth of renewable energy? What percent of their $139 billion in future investments is allocated to energy sources that are "clean and green"? Are the multitude of local contractors as fairly compensated and treated as Big Oil's employees? Should you allocate your investment portfolio to more of Big Oil or diversify into Big Green Energy (solar, wind, biofuels)?
