Filed under: Etc. , Legislation and Policy , Green Daily Speaking of discussing how to spend government money with an eye to the future , the CEO of the oil company Total said that the world is not prepared for the oil demands of the next decade and needs to invest in finding and tapping into new oil reserves. Speaking to the BBC , Christophe de Margerie (pictured) said that, "If we don't move [now] there will be a problem. In two or three years it will be too late."
