Arbeitskampfmaßnahmen in Nordwest-#Australien haben am Freitag einen Anstieg der Gaspreise ausgelöst.
Falls es nicht rasch zu einer Einigung zwischen #Chevron und den Arbeitern kommt, plant die #OffshoreAlliance eine Ausweitung der Kampfmaßnahmen

> The EPA division that approves new chemicals usually limits lifetime cancer risk from an air pollutant to 1 additional case of cancer in a million people. That means that if a million people are continuously exposed over a presumed lifetime of 70 years, there would likely be at least one case of cancer on top of those from other risks people already face.

Gevreesde staking aangekondigd bij #Chevron in Australië

Horrible #fact of the day: #Chevron just released a new boat #fuel that WILL give you cancer.
Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, ALL 10 would contract CANCER.
The #EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.
The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.
Fuck the #oil #industries.

The CBIA donation to United Latinos Vote was forerunner to a *flood* of corporate donations from the likes of #Chevron, #Marathon and #Phillips66. Shortly after receiving this cash, United Latinos Vote ran a full page ad in the *LA Times*, accusing the #SierraClub of pushing for anti-gas appliance rules that would harm working class Latino families.

EPA Approved Chevron Fuel Ingredient With Sky-High Cancer Risk — ProPublica
An EPA document shows that a new #Chevron fuel ingredient has a lifetime #cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than what the agency usually finds acceptable — even greater than another Chevron fuel’s sky-high risk disclosed earlier this year. https://www.propublica.org/article/epa-approved-chevron-fuel-ingredient-cancer-risk-plastics-biofuel
EPA approved a fuel ingredient even though it could cause cancer in virtually every person exposed

In this region, #Chevron has a net daily average production of 303,000 #barrels of #CrudeOil per day.
In the last several years, the effects of #ClimateChange have become increasingly impossible to ignore.
In the same way, the tools used by #OilCompanies to maintain the status quo are also making their way home. Yes, it’s hilarious that Chevron is spending millions of dollars on what amounts to a fuck-you Tumblr dedicated to a single guy.

Take the #BayArea city of #Richmond, where #Chevron maintains an #OilRefinery . Under the “Incidents” section for the refinery’s Wikipedia page: “1989 #explosion and #fire,” “1999 explosion and fire,” “2012 fire,” “2014 incident,” “2016 incident.” In the wake of the 2014 incident, Chevron brought a news outlet called the #RichmondStandard to the town. In 2022 they launched #PermianProud, a news outlet for the area between #Texas and #NewMexico around #Lubbock, #Midland and #Odessa.

To date, the #WallStreetJournal has run nine pro-Chevron, anti-Donziger opinion pieces. Plenty of other major outlets have argued in their favor.
#Chevron is still putting paid spend behind the website on #Twitter. Spend too much time researching Steven , you’ll likely start to see them. As recently as October 2022, academic (and NeoliberalHell pod co-host) Matthew J. Donovan confirmed that Chevron had created approximately 9,000 #backlinks to the #AmazonPost.

For fourteen years, #Chevron has played Regina George by using the Amazon Post (and its Spanish-language affiliate websites) as their Big Oil Burn Book. Their mission statement of sorts is viewable on the Wayback Machine:
The #FalseNews and misleading information 30,000 #Indigenous Peasant Farmers put out deserves to be corrected-and the public has a right to know the truth. This is Chevron’s blog to set the record straight!

In 2009, an internal memo at #Chevron spoke of a “long-term” plan to “demonize” #Donziger. The same year, Chevron created #TheAmazonPost. Skimmed in a #Twitter Feed, the name is obviously designed to look like some sort of news outlet. But clicking through, you’ll see the subtitle: “Chevron’s Views on the #Ecuador #Lawsuit.”

The legal moves #Chevron has made against #Donziger are no laughing matter. On the other hand, their attempts to beat him down in the court of #PublicOpinion are… different.
“They had to create a #FakeNarrative ,” said Donziger. “At that point, they really crossed the line in terms of the things they started do… to lie, to #deceive the #public, to deceive #journalists and their own #employees.”

#Chevron responded by suing #Donziger in the U.S. for $60 billion — for scale, that’s roughly one Koch brother. #TheIntercept and others have noted that Chevron’s case against Steven hinged on a witness that Chevron had paid “hundreds of thousands” of dollars, and a judge with “a soft spot” for the #OilCompany. Though damages were dropped, Donziger was found guilty, disbarred, imprisoned, placed on house arrest, and remains unable to leave the country.

Per coverage at the time, #Donziger and his team argued that a company #Chevron purchased dumped “18 billion gallons of #ToxicWaste … leading to 1,000-plus #deaths from #cancer and to #EcologicalDamage beyond repair.” In a landmark 2013 victory, courts in #Ecuador ordered Chevron pay $9.5 billion in damages.
