Quote by: Winter wind But if you're saying the head of Exxon is political, I doubt it. He's out for short term profit. |
C'mon Winter, don't be naive. Of course the head of Exxon is political. You don't believe they have a huge lobby operating full time in Washington? The oil industry is constantly besieging Washington to either get off their backs or gvie them more concessions... and yes, all for the short term benefit of their shareholders.
Here's Lee R. Raymond, (far left) former CEO of Exxon, and other oil execs testifying before Congress.
Anyway, good for O'Neill and the Rockefellers.
Here's another... the CEO of British Petroleum is apparently a global warming convert.
BP CEO Lord John Browne: Integrates energy, business, and environmental strategy --"One of the world's most passionate and articulate spokesmen on the perils of global warming is an unlikely activist. But Lord John Browne, group chief executive of BP, believes it is his role as leader of one of the world's most powerful energy conglomerates to make the problem understood — by the industries that produce energy and by the consumers who use it."--
Maybe there's hope yet.
