ExxonMobil, Halliburton and Wal-Mart are 2007 inductees for corporate hall of shame
Posted by manishn under GeneralNearly 8,600 voters have voiced their choice, and the 2007 inductees are ExxonMobil, Halliburton and Wal-Mart. You can read for yourself here. Some of my favorite comments are about ExxonMobil. Read below:
Exxon is gouging America with unreasonably high fuel prices while spending millions to prevent better fuel efficiency. Austin, TX
Exxon, you need to face the music and pay for the damages your oil spill caused. Much life was lost and the damage is still there. St. Charles, MO
Exxon, for its flagrant destruction of environment and greedy avoidance of its responsibility. Seattle, WA
Exxon has spent huge amounts of money to confuse ordinary people and governments into inaction, through funding of climate change skeptics. If Exxon had used the money it wasted on funding skeptics to clean up its act, the world would be well on the way to reducing global greenhouse gases now. Alberta, Canada
Being from Louisiana, I know all too well how Exxon has weaseled its way into local communities, does as little as possible even if it means compromising worker safety, and release of chemicals due. They have record profits and are eliminating jobs that are vital to the safety of their refineries. Greenwell Springs, LA
Exxon endlessly appeals the court decisions that find them culpable for the 1989 oil spill some of the defendants have died while Exxon’s phalanx of lawyers refuses to take responsibility for their disaster. Fairbanks, AK
Exxon wins hands down for causing the greatest potential harm to the most people. Their actions, if unabated, will contribute directly to the extinction of thousands of species and perhaps billions of people as weather patterns shift, seas rise, deserts encroach upon farmland and habitat is lost through global warming. Atlanta, GA
