Amoral Corporate Citizenship

Dear Rex Tillerson,


.

During the final five months of your career, you have a lot of soul
searching and atonement to do if you hope to salvage your
legacy.
.

ExxonMobil defines itself as a good Corporate Citizen, but what I


learned about how that works back in the early 1970s is pathetic.
What is happening in North Dakota right now exemplifies you and
ExxonMobil. This kind of behavior is not acceptableits amoral.
.

"Amoral Corporate Citizen" is not an oxymoron. It defines you.

The following excerpt is from Dakota Access Pipeline Builder


Ignored Obama Admin Request to Halt Construction by my friend
Steve Horn:
.

The Army will not authorize constructing the Dakota Access


pipeline on Corps land bordering or under Lake Oahe until it can
determine whether it will need to reconsider any of its previous
decisions regarding the Lake Oahe site under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or other federal laws, reads
the initial September 9 statement disseminated by the U.S.
Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Interior, and Army
Corps.
Therefore, construction of the pipeline on Army Corps land
bordering or under Lake Oahe will not go forward at this time. In
the interim, we request that the pipeline company voluntarily
pause all construction activity within 20 miles east or west of
Lake Oahe.

After showing the video to Curry Graham, Director of Public


Affairs for the Army Corps, Graham confirmed to DeSmog that
Energy Transfer Partners has proceeded with construction
inside of the administration's requested zone. Graham also said
construction has halted just short of the federal property
bordering Lake Oahe.
After the DC courts ruled in favor of the federal government,
federal agencies asked the Dakota Access pipeline company to
voluntarily pause all construction activity within 20 miles east or
west of Lake Oahe, Graham told DeSmog. The key word is
'voluntary,' and the company chose to proceed with
construction. As to why they did this, you will have to contact
Energy Transfer Partners to ask that question.
Which DeSmog did. Energy Transfer Partners spokesperson
Vicki Granado responded, We are constructing along the fourstate route in accordance with applicable laws, and in areas
where we have the necessary local, state, and federal permits
and approvals, Granada told DeSmog.

During the next 137 days, you have an opportunity to salvage


your legacy. You and your industry are presently being vilified for
good reason, and that will stick with you until you die and
beyond.
.

You can change that if you just do the right thing and compel
Kelcy Warren to do the same: Stop expanding oil infrastructure.
.

Sincerely yours,
.
