A well-oiled machine
CAIL and the Institute for Energy Law have numerous attorneys from Exxon and other oil companies on its Board of Trustees and advisory committees. Take a look at this from CAIL's Web site!
"The Institute for Energy Law (IEL), formerly the International Oil and Gas Educational Center, provides advanced education for lawyers and other professionals in the energy industry. Through educational programs, scholarly publications and membership activities, the IEL serves as an important forum in which contemporary issues affecting the industry can be examined. Founded in 1959, IEL counts among its membership many of the world's leading energy companies and attorneys."
"The very first educational program of the then Southwestern Legal Foundation was an Institute on Oil and Gas Law and Taxation, offered in 1949 (and every year since). Other energy law programs and activities followed, leading to the creation in 1959 of the International Oil and Gas Educational Center as a division of the Foundation."
"Renamed the Institute for Energy Law (IEL) in 2001, the IEL has, through its educational programs, scholarly publications and membership activities, served many thousands of energy lawyers and other professionals as an important educational forum in the energy industry." www.cailaw.org/iel/about.html

Well, some random ideas.
- Cut down your personal use of oil resources (petrol, electricity, etc.) with 50%
- Take the public transport and not your car.
- Shut of that air conditioner a bit more.
- Put one xmas tree in and around your house and not four.
- Stop eating meat more then once a week.
- Do not vote on the administration of uh .... Sh.., what is the name of that guy?
- Use a small fridge. Open it only 6 times a day.
- Arrange that all rubbers are free of charge so mankind growth less in numbers.
- Respect nature. We don’t own the earth we have it on loan.
- Own nothing. What you don not have you cannot loose.
I hope this helps you a bit to find a direction where to go next.
