ConocoPhillips?

What…ConocoPhillips is the “Mystery Buyer” for the Louisville, Colorado campus of Sun Microsystems, we’ve been talking about for the past month? I’m disapointed, yet I don’t know why. I was hoping some sexy, high tech company was going to be the puchaser. ConocoPhillips, just isn’t that sexy.
What I do find interesting, is the proposed plan for the campus will be for a “Worldwide training center” and “Global technology center” Conoco says it will use the facility to research hydrogen fuel cells, solar and wind power, along with cleaner diesel fuel, made with renewable resources.
After further review, I like the clean energy campus better than a Google office complex!
What do you think?
ps. As a side note of interest, Conoco paid $58.5 Million for the property. Which based upon it’s profit of $4.37 Billion last quarter, it took about one day’s profits to pay it off in full! How you doin’ at $3.00 per gallon?
