I think I'm a pretty normal person with an environmental tilt, like the rest of us on this page. I also happen to do a lot of work as a contractor for Chevron. I personally use carbon-based energy on a regular basis (hard to avoid it), and in general, I'm ok with the idea of helping to produce it, while trying to find better ways. However, I always flinch when I see negative news articles about Chevron. I always want to know the truth about what's going on. In this case, I read the Chevron news release that Andy links to in his article above. The Chevron that is described in that news release (the one helping improve the lives of the locals) is the Chevron I hope I work for, just like all the other Chevron workers I know. What I'm wondering is this: are there any more (verifiable) details available to explain what Chevron is doing wrong in this situation? And what about that Chevron news release - are they really doing some good things there, or is that just a marketing spin? Thanks, Dale I fully support efforts to improve human rights around the world, and I’m eager to help usher in a new era of clean and responsible energy usage.
