Every year, the destruction caused by the drilling, production and use of oil and gasoline gets worse. Instead of advocating changes which will decrease our reliance on oil, the petroleum industry is looking instead to drill for more crude, no matter the location, no matter how damaging.

To add insult to injury, these same companies are reaping huge profits while Americans must cut deeper into their families' budgets to pay for the rapidly increasing price of gas.

Of all the Big Oil companies, Exxon is the worst. Let me tell you why:

Exxon is leading the lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C. to open the pristine Arctic Refuge in Alaska for drilling.

After more than a decade, Exxon has still not kept its promise to pay for the extreme damage that resulted from the Exxon Valdez spill in Prince William Sound.

And while you and I are being gouged at the gas pump, Exxon is reaping record high profits...over $25.3 BILLION in 2004...money that is paying for junk science designed to stop and stall action on global warming.
