Grabbed from WolfspiritJPH:
- ExxonMobil is making record-breaking profits because of high gasoline prices but refuses to invest that windfall in renewable energy, calling it “uneconomic.”
- Instead of using its record-breaking profits to move America toward a cleaner energy future, ExxonMobil is spending millions on junk science, lobbying, and advertisements to block meaningful action on global warming.
- ExxonMobil is content to keep America dependent on oil while reaping the financial benefits.The company’s president has said we “need to accept the reality” of America’s dependence on oil rather than undertake “expensive” steps trying to avoid it. It is ironic that one of America’s largest corporations shows so little faith in American ingenuity.
- ExxonMobil is making record-breaking profits because of high gasoline prices, but ExxonMobil continues to challenge the 1994 court ruling ordering the company to pay $4-$5 billion in punitive damages to fishermen and others injured by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.
- Because of ExxonMobil’s environmental policies, I’ve pledged not to buy the company’s gas, invest in the company, or work for the company. Readers interested in joining the campaign can sign up at www.ExxposeExxon.com.

If you must buy gas, consider BP – it is my understanding that they’ve directed a considerable portion of their profits towards moving towards renewable resources. I have not vetted that fact.
