  Slanted Poll?

  The article opens:
  >>>Oil companies like to boast that their record-breaking profits are largely invested in infrastructure, exploration for new sources of ?Texas tea,? and in exploring ?green alternatives.?<<<
  
  I am curious from what sources this premise comes from. I know that the media likes to call "Big Oil's" profits obscene. But I was not aware that the oil companies were boasting about it or how their spending it. Does the writer read Lubes N Greases, Compoundings or other oil industry publications?
  
  I do not disagree that oil companies have responsibilities. So do local mom and pop stores, as well as tobacco companies, corn growers, and anti-business socialists.

  RE: Oil and Corporate Responsibility

  You make a good point: Be prepared. We have a car that gets good fuel mileage now (and only ONE car ??? we use public transport to fill in the gaps), and we plan on a hybrid next.
  
  Slowing down consumption, and moderating what we feel our ???needs??? are can be great ways to not only save money on gas, but in other areas of our lives as well.
