Twitter to the rescue!  There’s an account called “Exxon Cares”, telling you all that you need to know, and…what’s that you say?  That’s not an Exxon account?  Yeah, probably:

Tar sands is the chunky peanut butter of oil. #Delicious

Exxon delivered 12,587 pages of documents to the Attorney General. When he’s done reading them, can use them to soak up the oil? #ARoilspill

You might have noticed all the workers in HAZMAT suits in #Mayflower, AR. See, pipelines DO create jobs! #KXL #ARoilspill #oilspill

Someone tried to shut down the account when it was just “Exxon Cares,” so now it’s “Exxon Cares, Y’all.” Fine by me.
