19 years have passed [since the Exxon Valdez oil spill, but] ExxonMobil still refuses to pay all of the court-ordered, $2.5 billion in damages...
This is the same company that reported the largest annual profit in U.S. history in 2006, with $39.5 billion. It followed up 2006, by besting its record of the previous year by reporting $40.61 billion in profit for 2007. And as the Washington Post noted, ExxonMobil's 2006 "revenue of $377.6 billion exceeded the gross domestic product of all but 25 countries."
