Computer games, apparently. Yesterday, the New York Times reported on BP&#8217;s latest rebranding move\u2013a &#8220;collaboration&#8221; with Electronic Arts on the video game company&#8217;s latest version of SimCity, due out November 15th. Unlike previous versions of the popular video game that lets players build their own cities from scratch, this one will include a more &#8220;nuanced power generation and pollution simulation&#8221; that will &#8220;show the trade-offs among three aspects of electrical power: cost, power output and pollution.&#8221; Translation: BP&#8217;s colorful, green, and yellow sunburst logo will happily adorn &#8220;clean&#8221; energy options like solar farms, wind farms, natural gas plants, and even gas stations, while &#8220;dirty&#8221; energy options like coal will remain BP logo-free! In September, Chevron and The Economist teamed up for a similar venture. Their online, interactive game, Energyville, allows players to decide how to outfit a city with solar, wind, coal, biomass, hydro, oil, and nuclear power. The catch? If you try to use only renewable energy sources to supply your city, you&#8217;ll be politely informed you need petroleum. So much for thinking outside the box, huh?
