Re: Exxon is trying to destroy our environment
Tom, Oil companies have a habit of understating. We know that from The Gulf Oil Spill and BP. We know companies understate because of mine disasters like the one we discussed yesterday (the 29 who died because the company didn't report safety problems (a gross understatement). These are bottom line assholes and the first thing they ask themselves and their execs when something like this happens is "how is this going to affect our profits? and how can we underplay it (or lie) so the public doesn't get too upset with us?"
