BIZ SPOTLIGHT – CHRIS LIDDELL’S RUSSIAN BIZ CONNECTIONS

In New Zealand we have a $6 trillion trade opportunity through renewable energy horizons ahead. That excites me.

One of the requests today in the blog search engine was for “Chris Liddell in Russia” news.

When I first read about Chris, a while back, I was like… is he a famous ta moko artist? Why isn’t his name Derek? who is this guy? Reading, I quickly learned that Liddell was the dude who went “from cars to milk,” before you could say the words “New York Beef Wellington.” He made mega bucks in a very quick time for GM. The move into milk was to get onboard New Zealand’s biggest market earner – dairy protein supply chains.

The Wall Street Journal gives this snap shot of Liddell from a few days back that pertains to Chris’ biz connections in Russia: “Chris Liddell, former chief financial officer of General Motors Co., pauses during the 15th Annual Investor Conference organized by Renaissance Capital in Moscow, Russia, on Monday, June 27, 2011. Russian Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin talks about the outlook for the Russian economy and its dependence on oil and gas production.” Photographer: Andrey Rudakov for Bloomberg.

Okay… so we all know that cars and the whole push behind car sales are really “fast-wallets-with-wheels” for mega-rich oil ventures. Reading Petra Ecclestone news in Los Angeles, clearly tells anyone that… so, how heavily involved is Chris working with Russia now? Add any comments, if you like.

Cheers.

In reading Chris Liddell news, I also liked this article about being environmentally conscious about oil spills and green stuff like that, penned by Phillip Mills – a trustee of Pure Advantage of whom Chris Liddell is on the board of. The aim is to promote green strategies more.

I reckon, if you can’t stop Oil Vampires encroaching on “give us more oil” narratives at the alarmingly fast rate they do their thing, then you can at least develop sustainable green strategies more, so that people think before they drink, before they drive, with your oil. Always invest in green, if investing on the stock market in energy stocks, in conjunction with car sales stocks – so you can get to sleep at night. It’s best to perhaps buy equal amounts of shares in green energy development companies stock, if you are holding in your hand a stack of oil shares too.

I kid when I say oil vampires… simply because, wherever the most cars are in the world (or the coldest climates are) that’s where a lot of the oil in the world is going and being burned rather quickly.

In New Zealand we need to see the government commit (by law hopefully, or by conscience vote, if they can find… time..to) the assigning of mega R&D money towards sustainable energy fuel alternatives in partnership with any moves forward on the chess board regarding energy assets sales, marketing these and distributing these areas. Then maybe, we’ll ensure a business model evolving that is not actually raping a nation’s environment of fossil fuels too wrecklessly, or being, puppeteered by external forces who “want more. now.” We have to control the demand. We owe it to our grandchildren, not yet born to do this and manage in this way. (more…)
