Stop Going To Exxon/Mobile

After seeing this I think it will be a cold day in hell, which will be sooner than later if global warming continues down it's current path, before I go to Exxon/Mobile again. I know they aren't the only ones making billions, but they are the figure head of what is wrong with the energy and oil companies.

(Think Progress)Last year, Raymond made due with “a total compensation package” of just $69.7 million or $190,915 a day, including weekends.
To think they care about finding a alternative to oil is the most naive thought anyone could have. If they did care, they would maybe spend a little more of the profits on finding that alternative instead of padding executives pockets. Maybe Mr. Raymond could have gotten by with $50 million and put the extra $19 million into some research. I don't know if he could make it on the $50 million, not to mention;
Exxon is giving Lee Raymond one of the most generous retirement packages in history, nearly $400 million, including pension, stock options and other perks, such as a $1 million consulting deal, two years of home security, personal security, a car and driver, and use of a corporate jet for professional purposes.
So this summer when gas hits $3.50 in most of America, and $4.00 in places like Chicago, New York and California, think about Mr. raymond and his nearly half a billion dollar windfall!
