Where Do We Go?

With food prices dramatically increasing, oil and gasoline prices at all time highs, coupled with the fact that atmospheric CO2 and Methane levels have significantly increased in 2007, the answer to that question has never been clearer.

Well thought out words delivered in emotional speeches will help, but only to keep awareness of Global Warming and Energy Independence, in the forefront.

The Mission does the one thing that will proactively address Global Warming and Energy Independence; It Takes Action Now.

The route is clear and the talking is over. It is time for action. We have to remember the past, work diligently in the present and take back our future.

Chevron, Their Own Words on Global Warming

Chevron their own words on Global Warming

“It took a century to create the modern energy industry and half as long to realize groundbreaking advances such as the computer industry and the development of the Internet. Addressing climate change in a meaningful way is a far more complex, long-term proposition, requiring implementation of multiple solutions. Along the way, it will require periodic assessments to determine if the right results are being achieved from climate change policies, if actions are being shared equitably, and if global economic growth continues”.

Chevron has created a document called “7 principles for addressing climate change”. The document says a lot about where this companies true goals in addressing Global Warming are focused.

“Chevron shares the concerns of the governments and the public about climate change and recognizes that the use of fossil fuels to meet the world’s energy needs is a contributor to an increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the Earth’s atmosphere”.

“it is “very likely” that a significant level of warming is due to human activity”.

  1. “The reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) must be shared equitably by the top emitting countries of the world through long-term and coordinated natural frameworks”.
  2. “Oil, coal and natural gas are expected to dominate energy supply for decades to come. Climate policy must recognize the role these critical energy sources play to ensure security of supply and economic growth”.
  3. “Energy efficiency and conservation are the most immediate and cost-effective sources of “new” energy with no GHG emissions. Government programs to promote energy efficiency and conservation must continue and should be enhanced”.
  4. “GHG reduction objectives must avoid a disruptive economic impact and allow for a realistic turnover of capital and a phase-in of new, low-carbon technologies”.
  5. “Broad and equitable treatment of all sectors of the economy is necessary to ensure no sector or company is disproportionately burdened”.
  6. “Government support and partnerships with the private sector of pre-competitive research and development in carbon mitigation and clean energy technologies must continue at an accelerated pace”.
  7. “The costs, risks, trade-offs and uncertainties associated with climate change must be openly communicated”.

In the interview with Chevron's CEO it sounds a lot like Chevron wants more Government Regulations to be in place to help address Global Warming. Chevron does not want an energy czar; they want the government to regulate them. Is this the first time a company actually wants the government to impose more regulations on them?

In October 2007, Chevron has come out with a new commercial that really was funny but not in a Ha Ha kind of way. The closing line is; "Image that, an oil company as part of the solution".

Am I incorrect?

Chevrons oil products are a major contributor to Global Warming, so yes they should be part of the solution. They keep stating that something needs to be done but yet they are only taking minimal steps. Do they not know what needs to be done or are they playing a PR game.

Chevron shares in our concerns and understands that their products are increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. I wonder if they share solving the problem.

To Chevron, if you are serious about significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, let's talk.

In the end, we as a people need to take our future back and start making the decisions that are best for the many and not just the few.

We all have to work together and start to aggressively address Global Warming and Energy Independence, NOW.
