This expose is disturbing and worth watching. The largest investment bank executives remain ‘too big to jail’ today, and are still queering, even writing, public policy in their favor, while effectively buying off the regulatory and legal response to their ongoing malfeasance. As a result, only small players face personal liability and, in some cases, make convenient scapegoats.

Some people thought we were crazy when we put a giant wind turbine on top of a floating spar structure and towed it out to sea. But it turned out to be the future, and the future is now. This year we made a giant leap forward as we installed and started producing electricity from the world’s first floating wind farm. The 30 MW Hywind Scotland pilot park will demonstrate the feasibility of future commercial floating wind farms that could be more than four times the size. This will further increase the global market potential for offshore wind energy, contributing to realising Statoil’s ambition of profitable growth in renewable energy and other low-carbon solutions.
