摘要

Believe it or not, Goldman Sachs's interest in green goes beyond its record profits. The firm chauffeurs execs in hybrid cars, and the "Green Tower," its new $2 billion headquarters rising in Manhattan, is so ecofriendly that switching to a meatless diet may be a healthy career move for employees. So you'd expect any deal that reeks of greenhouse gases to set off alarms. Which is what happened when two of Goldman's clients, the private equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Texas Pacific Group, said they wanted to buy TXU Corp., a Texas utility that has poster child for global warming.
