Chevron vs. the Amazon
Friday, March 18, 2011 at 12:00PM In one of largest environmental judgements ever, a court in Ecuador ordered Chevron to pay $8.6 billion in reparations to the victims of oil pollution in a remote rainforest in Ecuador. Chevron calls the court system in Ecuador corrupt, and it could interrupt the day to day business. Investigative Journalist Greg Pallast says President Obama told BP immediately to pony up money to pay for the damage to the gulf but will he have the same message for an American company?
