"Sometimes it's cheaper to be ethical than unethical"
So they are getting hammered d for doing the right thing?
I can also say that CO2 is NOT a commonot found gas in oil reservoirs. It happens, but it costs way more money to set up the infrastructure to handle it. Considering the only proof this article offers is an email from a former employee 30 years later, I wouldn't put much stock into it.
I can go into detail about why it would not have been a good investment from a pure business standpoint if anyone is interested. That's all I think this was. A business decision made and then "reasons" added after the fact.
