Protesting Exxon in Dallas – pix at my blog
I wasn’t in Dallas last year, but two years ago, I joined the protest in front of ExxonMobil’s annual shareholder meeting. Back in town, back to protest.
The big item on the shareholder agenda this year is the proposal to split eXXXon’s CEO and chairman of the board positions, to require them to be held by two different people. Current CEO and Chairman Rex Tillerson strongly opposes the move.
I had a chance to get interviewed about this, and more general comments on Peak Oil and global warming, for PBS’s Frontline. The episode, whether my comments make the cut or not, is supposed to air in October.
The “division of powers” proposal, which most other Big Oil companies have already, got 42 percent a year ago, and with the backing of some 200 members of the Rockefeller family, maybe it will get over the top this time.
More, with pictures, at my blog.

The Peak Oil cat seems to be out of the bag, so I don't see the point of bothering with ExxonMobil's management.
