ExxonMobil Exposed:
*Exxon/Mobil is the only oil company remaining in Arctic Power, the
single-issue group lobbying to open the Arctic Refuge to drilling.
*Between 1998 and 2004, ExxonMobil gave more than $15 million to
organizations working to hide the facts about global warming.
*As increased demand for dwindling world oil and gas supplies earned
ExxonMobil a record breaking $25.3 billion in net income in 2004, company
executives dismissed suggestions that they invest in renewable energy,
calling it "uneconomic."
*While ExxonMobil has pledged $100 million over 10 years for research at
Stanford University into new energy technologies, such as burying carbon
dioxide emissions, the company's commitment is just two days worth of its
2004 profits and is dwarfed by its spending on oil and gas ex;location in
2004 alone---more than $1 billion!!  The Stanford project has no goals
and no guarantee that ExxonMobil will apply any of the technology it
helps develop.

EXXONMOBIL HAS REFUSED TO PAY THE $4.5 BILLION DOLLARS IN COURT-ORDERED
PUNITIVE DAMAGES TO VICTIMS OF THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL.  For more
