Raymond J. Learsy: Size Begets Arrogance, ExxonMobil Calling

The company’s new CEO (“patron du groupe” sounds closer to “Godfather” than our limp “CEO”) Christophe de Margerie has as a matter of company policy, taken the decision to dedicate a major part of Total’s resources to focus on developing nuclear power capabilities and infrastructure throughout the world, ranging from the development of uranium mines to building nuclear power plants in order to effectively and meaningfully reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
