Exxon boosted by oil price boom |
|
Exxon Mobil has become the latest oil firm to report bumper profits, driven by crude's recent record-breaking surge.
Net income in the July to September period jumped 56% to $5.68bn (£3.1bn), compared with $3.65bn a year ago. Sales were climbed to $76.4bn from $59.84bn.
...
Earlier on Thursday, Anglo-Dutch oil group Shell reported a 70% rise in third-quarter net income to $4.4bn . On Tuesday, BP unveiled profits of $3.9bn for the same period.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3962487.stmHow scammed are we?

3. And yet they still owe Alaska over six billion for the Exxon Valdez |
|
oil spill and apparently have no intention of ever paying any of it. Our Senator Lisa Murkowski has received most of her campaign money from Exxon and voted in their favor every opportunity. Exxon has screwed Alaska and our Senator doesn't give a shit.
