Funny, I was just thinking of that when I read this article. This isn't really so much a matter of hypocritical energy company CEOs as much as it is a reflection on the behaviors of the rich and privileged.
- scott_karana 13y agoI'd say it's the behavior of humans: selfishness is in our nature. The same situation plays out time and again with cellphone towers. People bitch about poor coverage, but as soon as a tower is going to be installed in their neighbourhood... :-) Similarly, people buy houses under the foot of airport runways, complain about the noise, and eventually the airports close... (NIMBY: Not in my backyard)
- Zancarius 13y agoI agree completely. It's almost humorous (I've been guilty of thinking some of these before sooooo...) Though, I do wonder if it isn't completely selfishness, including instead a pinch of resistance to change as part of the social recipe that drives us. In some of my other comments, I've suggested it's entirely greed or selfish motivations, but reflecting on my own experiences, resistance to change fits the bill fairly well. (Excepting financial motivation as partial to the cause, mind you.) We are creatures of habit, after all.
