It seems ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson will be appearing on NBC’s Today Show on Thursday, May 15, 2008. NBC wants to know if we, being the audience, have any questions for the executive in the ten gallon hat.
Well.
If I were to send a note to the CEO of ExxonMobil it would read something like this:
Hi Rex.
I was wondering a couple of things -
– Has ExxonMobil ever paid the court mandated fines and restitution for the Exxon Valdez spill up in Alaska? and if not, do you think, given that we are at or somewhere past peak oil production, do you think there will ever be a better time than now, to pay up?
– Given a) American energy dependence, b) recognition of global warming as a phenomena likely to produce the extinction of species by the Bush/Cheney administration – do you see any hope that your industry can lead the way in changing where American energy comes from and how it is produced? Or do you, do executives such as yourself, envision a world where fossil fuel dependence is maintained until every last drop of crude, and every last nugget of coal, has been extracted, processed, and sold? If the latter, how do you imagine that will impact our national security?
Lastly, Rex, do you have any kids?
