Evil Big Oil. I notice that the brilliant eco-scientist bianaca jagger is quoted in the article. Last name sounds familiar...........Hmmm! Oh yeah. She's famous for marrying that Stones guy. Not much else. Really hard to believe that the eco-wackos would actually resort to, uh, falsifying data.

About time. This is already factored into CVX price so don’t buy on this news.

She's famous for marrying that Stones guy.

She's famous for something else too. Same thing Sharon Stone's famous for.

She aged as badly as He ... maybe worse.

for 10 years in the 1990's I worked on gas station remodel/upgrades, mostly Chevron

Chevron went above and beyond with R&D on soil remediation and leak proofing systems. Their decision to lead the way in soil remediation in partnership with Fluor, got them nothing but total losses on the investment when after time the science determined that nature cleans the soil more effectively when left alone.

It was found that naturally ocurring bacteria in the soil thrives on hydrocarbons (gasoline and oil) and breaks it down into basic elements

this remains Top Secret in the "news" media/disinformation machine

The case is similar to the 2009 suit by greedy plaintiffs' attorneys against Dole Food Co. operations in Nicaragua, where workers were coerced into claiming they were sterilized by Dole chemicals. The entire case was thrown out "with prejudice" by a disgusted Los Angeles judge who found the entire story false.

Not done enough in this country. Surprising that it happened in Los Angeles

It must have been very obvious fraud.

There’s little doubt that Texaco inflicted harm on the people of the Oriente in the first decade or two of operations in Ecuador. But this damage was remediated to the satisfaction of Ecuadorian and international experts by the early 1990s, as stated in this article. But lawuers and greedy environmentalists hate to see the gravy train come to an end, and since 1992 this has become a massive shake-down of Chevron-Texaco on a scale that would make even Jesse Jackson blush.

Here is the definitive site for facts about Texaco in Ecuador: http://www.texaco.com/sitelets/ecuador/en/default.aspx

Greedy politicians, corrupt judges, and dishonest lawyers. Sounds like the DemocRat party.

But...but....but...CORPORATION!

If you read the judge’s decision, he basically accuses the Anerican lawyers in the case of a criminal conspiracy.
