From NY1:Exxon Mobil was found liable Monday for polluting the city's ground water.
A jury awarded the city $105 million in its suit against the oil company.
The city sued Exxon Mobil for the cost of removing a gasoline additive from drinking wells in Jamaica, Queens.
It argued the company ignored warnings not to use the additive in areas where groundwater is used for drinking.
Exxon Mobil released a statement after the verdict saying they were not the source of the contamination, and they will weigh their legal options.

Good luck collecting that money from Exxon. They haven't paid out, not even one thin dime for their Exxon Valdez Alaskan Adventure. In fact after the insurance payouts and Bush tax incentives they actually made quite a bit on money for destroying a perfect piece of the Earth. Remember that the next time you need to fill up your gas tank.
Don't forget the ten zillion gallons of petroleum still under Greenpoint since Granny's day.

the Opec gang hate these words.if our senate/cong. gang would stop kissing the "greenies" a--es ,the U.S.A. would have our own oil/gasoline,at cheaper cost.
months ago when gasoline reached $4.00/gal., the public outcry to Wash.D.C.,flooded the lines to schumer,gillibrand and ackerman. hints of drill,drill were spoken,opec wised-up and lowered the prices.
the last thing they want is U.S.A. oil drilling.
