Exxon chief executive Rex (T-Rex) Tillerson said Tuesday that the law can't touch him and urged consumers to reduce demand by hitchhiking.
"We just have to ask people to make sure they are using energy wisely," Tillerson told CNN after a meeting with congressmen in Washington. "Be efficient with it, don't waste it. If it takes you three or four hours to walk to work, well, maybe you'll lose some fuckin' weight, lard-ass."
He said Exxon, for its part, was investing $20 billion over the next five years (which is to say, 22.5% of their revenues for 2005) to develop new sources of energy.
"[We're] developing supply from all over the world, including a lot of investment in this country's representatives and some new developments, like doing for Iran what we've done in Iraq. And, you know, all of that is directed at trying to address the tightness in the supply situation and increase it, if possible.
