I’m 99. 9% confident they were being sarcastic.

On the topic of active investing, I’ve been led to believe there is some case for investing in brown/unethical companies (eg oil industry) on the basis that the investment only be used for green projects. Obviously this isn’t something an individual investor could do, but the principle is that a massive oil company like Shell could do more good with a large investment, bringing in large coordinated green programmes or just undoing their brown programmes, than that same investment split up into lots of smaller and newer green companies with different goals, lots of independent overhead etc.

I’m as equipped to make the argument as I am able to enact it, but I think it’s an interesting thought at least.
