Bush:

"There is a marketplace in American society," he said.

"There's also a responsibility for energy companies to continue to invest and improve the ways that the American people can get energy," he said. "I would very much hope that Exxon would participate in the development of a pipeline out of Alaska, for example, in order to make sure there's more natural gas available for families and small business owners so the economy will grow."

Why simply hope that businesses will do the right thing? A strong president would call them to the White House and jawbone the hell out of them until he got them to act on social responsibilty.
