Crude: The $8.6 Billion Verdict Against Chevron for Polluting Ecuador
Loading...
Uploaded by SustainableGuidance on Jan 19, 2011
Dumping billions of gallons of toxic waste into the Amazon, Texaco (now Chevron) has been ordered to pay $8 billion to clean up its environmental pollution of reckless oil drilling and restore human rights for the 30,000 affected peoples. Chevron REFUSES to pay the verdict of this 18 year long lawsuit - reflecting the true nature of corporate accountability in the fossil fuel industry.
"Chevron's strategy in recent years has been, 'we'll bleed the plaintiffs dry,' " said Robert Percival, director of the environmental law program at the University of Maryland. " 'The plaintiffs will run out of money, and we'll be able to settle really cheaply, or they'll just go away.' " (sfgate.com)

Crude is a must-watch documentary by Joe Berlinger that exposes the true dangers of oil extraction. Everyone should know this information. Please support the filmmakers.
Fossil fuel extraction is common world wide and massively pollutes our fresh water supplies and our environment (see my other videos for the impact of other fossil fuels and more on the world wide water crisis).

Remember what was said in the movie Avatar? Corporations don`t like bad publicity and bad numbers for their shareholders. Check the history of Standard Oil and how it was built.
