Are Oil and Gas Companies really trying to save the Earth?

Admit it, you've seen at least one advertisement in which an oil or gas company is telling us about how 'Green' they are. How they're working with us to save the planet. Everything from developing new technologies to recycling their office papers. But how much is real and how much is just a bunch of hype designed to distract us from the fact that these are billion dollar corporations making money from our dependance on fossil fuels? It can be really hard to figure out what's real and what's a smoke screen. Now don't get me wrong, there have been great developments and research done in alternative energies like tidal power here on the Bay of Fundy and wind power too. But not every project or idea is what it's cracked up to be.
