Oh man, I made a comment like "the UK's energy infrastructure has never been greener" and got the same look followed by a firm talk about how it's losing in the oil and gas markets with untapped potential.

I asked him "would you rather live next to a windmill or an oil refinery?" and he shut the hell up.

He's not even a bad guy, and he's not friends with any oil bigwigs as far as I know. He just likes to read the economist and give the impression that he's "good at business".
