According to the EPA’s National Emission Inventory, Chevron was responsible for 4,030,422.95 pounds of green house gas emission pollution in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana in 2002.
Chevron was the first international oil company to operate in Nigeria and has, for almost 40 years of operations there, practiced the wasteful process of burning off of gas associated with oil drilling. [1]
Exxon Mobil Corp., ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc are as ill-prepared as BP Plc to halt and clean up an offshore oil spill because they all use “carbon copy” disaster plans, lawmakers said.
“The oil company response plans are great for public relations but these plans are virtually worthless in the event of a spill,” said Representative Bart T. Stupak, a Michigan Democrat. “It could be said that BP is the one bad apple in the bunch, but unfortunately, they appear to have plenty of company.” [2]

This is an identity correction remix that turns Chevron’s multi-million dollar Human Energy greenwashing PR blitz on its head.
Though the video targets Chevron Oil and their Orwellian “Human Energy” campaign, it also focuses more broadly on corporate control of global oil supplies and the connection to aggressive American foreign policy.
In this corrected commercial the company’s true nature is exposed for what it is, a heartless profit-driven oil machine. The Chevron corporation is not only an ecological catastrophe around the world but still does business with the Burma dictatorship, has oil contracts in war-torn Iraq and is responsible for human rights atrocities in the Niger Delta, among other unpleasant and nasty things.
This Political Remix Video is a critical and transformative work that constitutes a Fair Use in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107. Source footage from Chevron TV ads, US Army ad, BBC News, Future Weapons, CSI and several other short clips recorded off television.

The oil conglomerate is claiming injuries from a satirical video
How desperate is Chevron to get out of paying billions in damages for oil contamination in Ecuador’s rain forest? Very, according to Mark Fiore. The Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist claims the company has filed court documents over a satirical video he made in conjunction with the environmental nonprofit Amazon Watch.
The Chevron Ecuador case filed against Steven Donzinger papers, which Fiore posted yesterday to his personal blog, accuse defendants of having “unleashed a barrage of near-daily press releases, letters to government officials and shareholders, web videos, and cartoons in an effort to extort a payoff from Chevron.” According to Fiore, this is the cartoon in question:

Neil Zusman (editor) email response. No further communication was received aftert I invoked my Fair Use rights.
Thank you for your interest in my website. The piece needed editing. As Chevron has requested, I removed the logo you are inquiring about and replaced it with a screen shot of Chevron’s website to ensure my readers the clarity of context.
The analysis of media and corporate responsibility by energy sector companies are important to me.
If you wish to consider this matter further, I look forward to discussing your concerns about Chevron’s trademark rights in my representation of Chevron as well as my Fair Use rights under Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107.
I welcome a productive and healthy relationship with Chevron and its subsidiaries in the consideration of environmental issues and prudent government regulation and trust that our covenant with the Earth will be of mutual benefit.
