          day in Climate History October 28, 2005  </a></b><b> :  From
        D.R. Tucker  ---------------------------</b></font><br>
    October 28, 2005: The New York Times reports:<br>
    <blockquote><font size="-1">"A sudden interruption in oil supplies
        sent prices and profits skyrocketing, prompting Exxon's chief
        executive to call a news conference right after his company
        announced that it had chalked up record earnings. ...'I am not
        embarrassed,' he said. 'This is no windfall.'..."That was
        January 1974, a few months after Arab oil producers cut back on
        supplies and imposed their short-lived embargo on exports to the
        United States. Oil executives, including J. K. Jamieson, Exxon's
        chief executive at the time, were put on the defensive, forced
        to justify their soaring profits while the nation was facing its
        first energy crisis. ..."Three decades later, their successors
        are again facing contentions that oil companies are making too
        much money and have failed to expand production. ...
        "Politicians and other critics are asking why the industry
        allowed its refining capacity to tighten. ...."Exxon Mobil, the
        world's largest oil company, said yesterday that its
        third-quarter net income jumped 75 percent, to $9.92 billion.
        Its profit in the first nine months of this year - $25.42
        billion - already equals its full-year earnings for 2004. This
        year's sales, which topped $100 billion in the last quarter, are
        expected to exceed those of Wal-Mart..."Another oil giant, Royal
        Dutch Shell, reported a 68 percent jump in profits yesterday, to
        $9.03 billion. Chevron is expected to post a profit of more than
        $4 billion today...."This year is shaping up as an exceptionally
        lucrative one for the oil industry, thanks to strong global
        demand, tight supplies and high prices for oil and natural gas.
        While the idea that the Bush administration was considering
        imposing a windfall profits tax was knocked down yesterday by
        officials, longstanding resentments against Big Oil are
        resurfacing and could end up imposing some additional burdens on
        the industry. ..."The sense that government should step in to
        curb the phenomenal wealth and power often enjoyed by oil
        companies goes back to Exxon Mobil's corporate ancestor from the
        late 19th century, the Rockefeller oil trust known as Standard
        Oil...."Today, Republicans and Democrats alike, aware of the
        politically sensitive issue of high energy prices, are putting
        increasing pressure on the oil and gas industry to return some
        of its profits. The ideas include forcing the industry to invest
        in more refining capacity, to increase inventories to cushion
        energy shocks, or to provide money directly to the government
        program that helps low-income people pay heating bills."
