    No Climate Bill Until 2010 at the Earliest

    It's silly to be passing new laws on emissions when the biggest and richest company, ExxonMobil, has all their old plants and infrastructure grandfathered and exempt from the Clean Air Act in the USA. It's the old stuff that is still running and leaking that creates huge volumes of emissions. I live on a 38,000 acre South Texas Ranch with ExxonMobil. They have leased the place since the 1930's -- it's still huffing and puffing away on old grandfathered plants. They not only pollute, they are wasteful. All the new production of ExxonMobil's JV partners requires that the partners process all the gas at ExxonMobil's 1950's King Ranch Plant -- another huge polluter. ExxonMobil leased almost 2,000,000 contiguous acres between Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley by the 1940's -- they still control the area and use old junk. Regardless of new rules, XOM will be exempt. I made a website www.RanchoLosMalulos.com - you can see what a Texas XOM op looks like. We need to make the biggest polluter that can afford to improve do so. That would reduce emissions!
