   Thank You President Trump for the OK on the pipelines and also Pruitt at EPA and Perry at Energy, it is appreciated.

I do hope these investments are better than the disastrous $41 billion purchase it made in 2009 to buy XTO.

From the looks of it, the announcements include investing into areas where they have considerable expertise, so may parlay well.

I wonder how much tax funding it will get.

Exxon is one of the biggest lobbyists on the planet.
