Lots of people have interesting jobs and hardly anyone works 100% of the time.

We sell fuel to ships, so unless everyone suddenly agrees they don't need the 90% of the world's commodities and manufactured goods anymore, you gotta use ships. And in a moderate defense, ships by far the least polluting way to transport stuff by ton/mile. Me personally I'm a big old lefty, even here within the EU's context (where the American Democrats would be a center-right party).I just fell into this role and happened to be good at it. My function is far too niche for any green energy projects. At the core of what we do and the bit I supervise, we are basically providing short term liquidity to shipping companies, since you sell fuel on unsecured credit. Believe me I've looked (and keep looking) at green and adjacent spaces. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 1 point 2 years ago Oh that makes sense, thank you for the explanation! permalink fedilink source parent
