You are thanking the man for his contributions to the economy? You must be very rich to think that. Oil is a dead end economy and causes 90 percent of the problems we have, grab a brain.

ok. i think we can all agree that ozzy osbourne is pretty kick ass

[SpellboundSolution]

Just wonder how many people here know that the sole motivation for Ida Tarbell publishing her anti Standard Oil slur piece was that her brother ran the Pure Oil Company? That little fact seems to be left out of the history books for some reason.

The "family tree" chart that Chevron put out needs some updating for the last few mergers. Exxon/Mobil, Chevron/Texaco, Conoco/Phillips/76. Several pieces not from Standard.

@lofosus actually esso is exxon so you do have exxon

Go exxon

I <3 you

[lofosus]

we haven't got Exxon Oil here in Switzerland. Migrol(Swiss Oil) and very little Filling station like Shell, Esso and BP. But we haven't got Exxon, Total or all the others.

"Private company" is actually not correct. They are a public company, since before the days of Esso. BTW in Europe, the 'Exxon' was never adopted, they're still 'Esso.'

He reminds me of the man from 'There will be blood.'

only much more wealth

We understand this. But soon we will need to get off of oil.

Nuclear, Solar, Geothermal. Corn, Sugar Cane, tidal, and wind power are the best options.

The US is transferring a ton of money overseas, which is not helping our economy.
