Chevron too... (none / 0)

Chevron has been running ads for "awareness" in some sense... What exactly, except for the liability issue, could the oil company expect in returns for those moves ? Look like "right guys" ? Stabilize demand and prices for the best of everyone ? Dunno. It certainly is better if oilcos testify about energy scarcity / climate change issues.

It's about changing perceptions.

And it's about market share. If an oil/petrol company can attract more people to tank at their stations. of course they win.

But I suspect a perceptual cartel. No company wants to make the first move because such a move would be an admittance of responsibility. But it will happen...
