Exxon doesn't care because Exxon is making money hand over fist, doing it the way they're doing it.

If YOU-inclusive were making money hand over fist, within laws tailored specially for you, would YOU be much motivated to do it A.) differently and B.) less profitably in your lifetime?

A few would, certainly. A few would forego individual gain for collective good, but Big Oil isn't part of THAT Few.
