A reader helpfully pointed out this video from the Rainforest Action Network taking Chevron to task for greenwashing itself with its solar panel testing facility, Project Brightfield. Chevron was ranked No. 1 on today’s Top Ten Players in Green Energy<\/a>, in part, for opening Project Brightfield.<\/p>\n

The hosts of Greenwash of the Week, say that “The Energy produced by project Bull$*#@ will go directly to… the Kern River Heavy Oil Extraction Facility.” They find this appalling.<\/p>\n

So, Chevron isn’t moving into solar?<\/p>\n

Of course not. That’s not the point of the test facility nor was Chevron advertising itself as a green energy company.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it goes without saying that prior to the installation of solar panels at this facility, Chevron was powering this extraction with… fossil fuels!<\/p>\n
