According to today's Wall Street Journal, Exxon President Lee Raymond doesn't think much of Global warming, the Kyoto Accords or Peak Oil. He thinks Shell and BP are wusses for investing in alternatives to fossil fuels while he funds skeptics and fights emission caps. Well, lots of treehuggers drive, and while our Prius's and echoes and hondas do not use as much gas it all adds up. Its time to start driving right by Exxon stations (Esso in Canada and UK) and filling up elsewhere, anywhere. Greenpeace has a website devoted to this ::Stopesso.org

Speak with your feet! You won't find me at Exxon.
All he had to say was: "We're working hard at cleaning up the environment and researching new technologies for cleaner fuel, and alternative fuel". But of course, he came back with derisive comments about his competition and a big ol' texas "Screw you hippies!" attitude.
I can commend him on his honesty and his ability to take a stand on an issue and stick to it, it's just not my stance. No more Esso for the Golf.
When posting comments about an article it is in good form to post a link to the article or to post some of the article.
keep in mind Exxon is ExxonMobil so if you are in parts of the USA where Mobil stations dominate or there are Exxon and Mobil stations don't go to those.
We'll see what he thinks of global warming when his childern die of skin cancer!!! Maybe he'll change his tune then?
