Such damage control is very important to undertake, especially when sea-changes in public opinion are underway as they are. Many of the "inconvenient spew" of this articles "talking points" are ridiculous. The suggestion that "Americans" have asked for tarsands to be ramped up would convince me if I thought that the average American knew where the Tarsands even were, let alone that he or she wants more from them.

This is, bottom line, proof we are getting somewhere. Let's keep moving; where we are coming from holds nothing.

Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) also said it wasn't able to reach agreement with Venezuela.
