Quote by: sonart 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. |
I meant the CEO isn't trying to suppress the story or sideline the Rockefellers because of his political ideology. He's doing it to make money. In fact, short term money only. (Long term, it would be best for everyone if Exxon looked into other forms of energy).

Quote by: Sonart Here's another... the CEO of British Petroleum is apparently a global warming convert. |
Neva Rockefeller actually says that the family will invest in BP if Exxon doesn't follow through. (they won't pull their stocks in Exxon)
Plus, BP isn't the only one, several European companies are investing in alternative energy sources as well, the question is, which one will take off?
