Chevron Corp. Chief Executive David O’Reilly faced intense criticism from environmentalists and human rights advocates who detailed their grievances at the company’s annual shareholders meeting Wednesday. At Wednesday’s meeting, activist Luis Yanza told O’Reilly that the contamination has poisoned the land and sickened thousands of people who live in the Ecuadorean Amazon. In Ecuador, Chevron faces a multibillion lawsuit by 30,000 jungle settlers and Indians who allege the company failed to clean up billions of gallons of toxic wastewater produced by Texaco Petroleum Co., which Chevron acquired in 2001.

Chevron faces another lawsuit by Nigerians who claim that the company hired soldiers who shot and killed protesters at an offshore oil platform in the Niger Delta in 1998. The company claims the protesters were armed youths who were shot after they demanded money and took more than 200 workers hostage.

Activists also complained about Chevron’s operations in Myanmar, where the company owns a minority stake in a natural gas pipeline that generates revenue for the country’s military dictatorship. They also said the company hasn’t done enough to push the regime to accept international aid following the devastating Cyclone Nargis earlier this month. More

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton [than President Bush], though he disagrees with them on how such regulations should be structured,” writes Monday’s Wall Street Journal.

“Besides championing legislation to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions,” the Journal adds, “Sen. McCain has opposed the administration’s call to open parts of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling, citing the refuge as a natural treasure on par with the Florida Everglades and the Grand Canyon in his home state of Arizona.” Read more
