ALEC NEWS

Exxon Mobil yesterday informed about discontinuing its membership of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Exxon had a public argument with ALEC last year over climate-change policy. Exxon's departure has come in light when corporate giants like Ford Motor Co. and Expedia Group Inc. have already departed the lobbying group, owing to ALEC's stance on climate rules, renewable energy and other issues.
