Well, well, well.
Who wants cars that don't use oil?
Certainly not the execs and board at Exxon.
a quote from the article:
"HOUSTON – Exxon Mobil Corp. on Friday reported a profit of $45.2 billion for 2008, breaking its own record for a U.S. company, even as its fourth-quarter earnings fell 33 percent from a year ago.
The previous record for annual profit was $40.6 billion, which the world's largest publicly traded oil company set in 2007."
Imagine if the people of the USA had a wee bit more of that money in their pockets. A reasonable profit for Exxon and a reasonable price at the pumps. They could use it to "spend, spend, spend" and spread it around a little bit more and maybe, just maybe, a few more people would still be employed and the wheels on the capitalist bus would still be turning instead of sitting still waiting to dry rot.
