I think there is a lot of money to be made in enviromentalism. For example, I can't wait until I can put solar panels on my house. And I'd love to use less gas to get around in my car.
I think that because of high fuel prices, the market is now there for these kinds of things to come about more quickly. And I won't shed a tear if the oil companies are too stupid to invest in these types of technologies. I personally don't think they are.
