Lobbying in this country is out of control. Koch Industries, Exxon and the rest should be planting a few BILLION trees around the world to help offset the damage. This should anger everyone on the planet.

Anthony Sampson's book The Seven Sisters written in 1975 for more back story on the oil industry.
