HOW ABOUT NOT GENERATING PROFITS?:
Branson will invest Virgin profits in a green future (CRAIG BROWN, 9/22/06, The Scotsman)
SIR Richard Branson yesterday announced he would invest £1.6 billion over the next decade to help tackle global warming and promote alternative energy.The Virgin Group tycoon said he would redirect all profits from his travel firms over the next ten years.
If he really believes global warming is man-made, why doesn't he shut down the airline until alternative ways of powering the planes are found? Posted by Orrin Judd at September 21, 2006 11:44 PM

Or he dump his entire jet fleet and switch all his commercial flights over to this, once he perfects the technology, of course.

Of course, he's still gonna keep most of the wealth itself, and only "redirect the profits", as this is what passes as noble self-sacrifice these days (See Bill Gates for another example.)
