Are you planning to do what you did to the Ecuadorian people? If that is the case, the world is not interested in your "exploration technologies and techniques". I'm certain that your acclaimed restrictions by the U.S. government don't make you the victim that you are claiming to be. For those readers who are not aware of Chevron's role in the Ecuador's contamination problem google - crudethemovie. 1st link. It explains the problem in a few minutes. Retake happiness lost to corporate oil!

Texaco (now owned by Chevron) has not operated in Ecuador in nearly 20 years. Chevron never operated there. Prior to leaving Ecuador, Texaco spent 3 yrs & $40 million on remediation & received a full release of future liability from Ecuador. Meanwhile the state oil company Petroecuador has not remediated its share & has accrued a deplorable record w/1400+ spills since 2000. The current conditions are the responsibility of the Gov't of Ecuador & Petroecuador. Please visit our blog The Amazon Post

I would like to see some detailed information on Chevron's business plan to transition to being a company fully dedicated to zero carbon technologies, fuel sources, and infrastructures. Does Chevron have plans to change it's market focus in this respect, and what is the success rate of if any regarding these initiatives?

[TheEngineer801]

The industry(Texaco(now owned by chevron)) is responsible for the disasters as the result of company operations undertaken in any area, no matter the cost, or legal agreements, as the spills, emissions, leaks, and any events involving the spill of substance(oil) would not have been released. Regardless of whether any government sanctioned agreements have been struck, as any subversion of the people's interest is an act of tyranny, thereby immediately null and void.

Is it safe to use solar panels with no sun light use other sources of light and is it beneficial. Like wrapping solar panels using electroluminous wire or even fiber optic glow wire. Is this safe and does it make more electricity than what original power is put into it.

@Chevron This isn't a discussion about Petroecuador. Their contribution to the disaster is their responsibility and is being pursued. Chevron's culpability is the issue and thus the reason for my posting on your video. Chevron's irresponsibility and neglect to address concerns that they are DIRECTLY responsible for is deplorable to say the least. A document signed by a previous corrupt government leader is no release of liability when it comes to culpability. You can't get that via paper.

I would like to see more exploration and drilling.  I wish gas was like .80 cents a gallon.
