Chevron
and
Climate Change
Below are
extracts of letters between the oil company
Chevron, which
owns Texaco petrol stations,
and Peter Shullot about climate change. The letters in full are at the bottom of
the page. This is one of 65 sets of letters so you can find out what your
supermarket, energy supplier and car manufacturer, and oil companies, airlines,
house builders and other companies really think about climate change. The name
Peter Shullot is made up – it is an anagram of The Polluters.
To
the Managing Director –
So Texaco is really called Chevron? I
never knew that when I fill up at one of your stations.
You must be proud to run such a
great organisation as Texaco / Chevron that is so well known for its community
work.
I’m concerned about the hysteria concerning climate change.
Wind, solar, nuclear energy; biomass, lpg, hydrogen cell, Flora cooking oil.
They all spell the death knell for the black stuff.
You can’t allow this to happen. The point is we like the car or else we wouldn’t
drive them. But the vegetable-eating, black-wearing, Monibot-worshipping,
pot-smoking, reality-denying, GM free greens want to take this away from us.
You’d think that pulling in to your local petrol station is worse than killing
the wife and burying her under the patio.
Finally, I
don’t know who you are. You are very difficult to find. Maybe you’ve found a way
to bar your name from being Googled. If so, let me know how you do it as it
would assist for my business interests, which I don’t want spread over the
internet. Anyway, good for you. Keep a low profile and stay out of the way of
the mad greens.
Later letter to Chevron –
1 Westferry Circus, Canary Wharf is your registered address. Given that you
don’t reply to letters and have no name I assume this address is solely for tax
purposes and to mix it with the big boys – BP, Barclays, HSBC and Alan Sugar.
I realise that continuing international stability means higher oil prices and so
bigger profits, which leads you to think you can afford to be complacent, but I
should warn you that I have some pulling power with the bigwigs in OPEC.
