If anything, that money will go to things like greasing the palms of Russian politicians, with hopes of obtaining exploration & drilling rights in more parts of Siberia.

Fuck guys like Exxon, take the money from them, and give it back to small entrepreneurs. You know, the small businesses who are going to come up with the next Google, or an awesome solar panel, or a new bio-fuel, or whatever. They're going to advance the US economy far more than guys like Exxon will.
