Great for Exxon and people who own their stock, but terrible for the rest of America. Wondering why the Obama administration didn't prohibit that Exxon purchase?

Do you mind if I ask a few questions?

Why is it that private enterprise shouldn't profit from their investment?
If this company didn't have the resources to exploit the technology won't we benefit by Exxon bringing it to market?
Is it the governments role to decide who is allowed to sell various technologies?
Is profit bad?
Who is John Gault?
