I agree Hacker..... and further I would say yes Exxon has an agenda, its to find, refine, and buy crude oil into petroleum products and make MONEY. IF their agenda is not to invest in alternative energies ( BP actually has invested billions along these lines ) then it will bite them down the road. More power to them in making money, and if their long term policy isnt sound, they will pay the price on that end as well. GOVERNMENT already makes more per gallon of refined gasoline in taxes than a company like EXXON or SHELL ever will.
