Exxon Mobil is the oil behemoth everybody loves to hate - except its shareholders, of course. It's the most profitable company on the Fortune 500 for the fifth year in a row, raking in a record-breaking $40 billion in 2007 earnings.

But the company's near single-track focus on fossil fuels - plus its massive profit amid record gas prices - has drawn criticism from the public. An Exxon executive was recently grilled on Capitol Hill, with legislators demanding to know why the company hasn't invested as much in renewables as some of its peers.
