The bottom line is simple. I'd rather have an electric Camaro then no Camaro at all.

What is being missed or forgotten is that Oil Majors operate in a global economy(just like GM). Another easily forgotten fact is that America is not at the center of the universe, and not everyone thinks like we do or wants what we want. Oil companies do not run the world, consumers do. Consumer's wants are changing and they no longer want to do business with irresponsible corporate citizens anymore than they want to continue to be dependent on fossil fuels, so no oil companies can no longer do whatever they want, if we could my day to day would be a lot easier, trust me. Also, the world cannot handle a complete paradigm shift off fossil fuels, and I will sum that up in one word...."plastics". Almost everything is made of plastic, and the only reason they are so cheap is because of the value of the rest of the barrel of crude oil has, like gasoline. The challenge is finding balance, and changing your asset mix and future plans to fit the consumer's appetite for change, while finding alternate ways or materials to make things from. It is 2020, not 1920, the world is progressing to a brighter future and that means less fossil fuel use whether we like it or not. if you wont do it for you, do it for the kids HAHAHAHAHA.

Lots of people worked their butts off to be first to bring out a better record than the 78 RPM shellac disc. Columbia invented the 33 1/3rd RPM vinyl album in 1942. RCA invented the player that would play every speed so all records could be played and never go unplayable. They were already the biggest in the music industry at the time. Just cause people are working their butts off doesn't mean anyone but the big wigs are gonna keep doing what they're doing. |

Exxon and Mobil are the same company.
They merged back in 1998 and is called ExxonMobil.

I was able to drive a friend’s Tesla Model S last night and must say I enjoyed the experience more than the Volvo XC60 rental that I have in Germany at the moment.
The Tesla pulled hard, has a nice interior and technology galore. The XC60 is a nice luxury SUV but feels numb and detached. I’d rather drive the electric coupe than a lumbering SUV with a ICE. Maybe it won’t be so bad if the 6.2L V8 rwd goes away. I didn’t hate it.

Thanks for the correction, but my point still stands.
