Exxon needs more renewable energy focus, the Rockefeller family say.
BBC News: Exxon profit up 17% on oil surge
Thursday, 1 May 2008 15:14 UK
Oil giant Exxon Mobil made $10.9bn (£6bn) profit in the first three months of 2008 – up 17% but less than some had expected, analysts said.
A struggle to pass higher production costs and surging oil prices on to customers at the petrol pump had restricted earnings, they added.
The results followed members of the Rockefeller family going public about an on-going feud they have with Exxon.
The descendents of the firm’s founders want more focus on renewable energy.
The roles of chairman and chief executive at Exxon should also be split, the Rockefeller’s said.
Exxon Mobil was formed by combining two parts of John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Trust.
Sales in the quarter rose to $116.85bn from $87.22bn in the same period a year earlier.
Earlier this week BP and Royal Dutch Shell announced big first-quarter profits – benefiting more than had been expected from the surging price of crude oil which is now close to $120 a barrel.
Shell made profits of $7.8bn (£3.9bn) in the first three months of the year, up from $6.9bn a year ago.
And rival BP saw its profits rise 48% to $6.6bn (£3.3bn), from $4.4bn.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
