Now more than ever we need to work together.
Oil, energy, the environment. It is the story of our time and leaves no one untouched.
Every day the demand for energy becomes greater, and every day it becomes harder to find.
What we all do next will determine how well we meet the energy needs of the entire world now –
and in the future.
The trends are in motion.
Energy demand is soaring as never before, driving economic growth and improving
standards of living around the globe. Some say that in 20 years the world will
consume 40% more oil than it does today.1 Many of the world’s oil and gas fields
are maturing.2 And new energy discoveries are occurring in places where resources
are difficult to extract.3 When growing demand meets tighter supplies, the result is
more competition for the same resources.
The only energy we have in abundance: Human energy™.
We can wait until a crisis forces us to do something. Or we can work together,
and start asking tough questions: How do we meet the energy needs of the
developing world and those of industrialized nations? What role will alternative
energies play? What is the best way to protect our environment? Whatever actions
we take, we must look not just to next year, but to the next 50 years.
We need your help.
At Chevron, we believe that innovation, collaboration and conservation are the
cornerstones on which to build this new world. But we can’t do it alone. Corporations,
governments and every citizen of this planet must be part of the solution as surely
as they are part of the problem.
So we ask you to join us.
Let this website be the vehicle that helps to close the gaps between our diverse
philosophies and open the minds of us all. There are many factors in the new energy
equation, and we encourage you to consider all of them. We call upon scientists
and educators, politicians and policymakers, environmentalists, leaders of industry
and each one of you to be part of reshaping the next era of energy. Register to join us today!
Thank you for joining us.
