Cheaper, Cleaner Energy
Holding Big Oil Accountable
Oil Watchdog is a blog and resource library about the profiteering, power, and unscrupulous practices of the oil industry.
At our affiliated site OilWatchdog.org our bloggers are looking for the schemes the industry employs to rip-off its customers, harm the environment and hide their misdeeds. We report on connections between the oil companies and their so-called “independent” spokespeople and groups that always promote an industry view. We track the money oil companies move around to maintain political power and just about anything else that helps reveal the greed and arrogance of this industry.
We rely on data, experts and instinct. But our project is improved and expanded by our readers, who comment on blogs and articles, other bloggers and reporters who watch this industry from the outside and courageous whistleblowers who know the industry from the inside.
Chevron rides soaring crude oil prices to record 1st qtr. profit of $5.17 billion, as consumers feel squeeze at pump and White House does nothing.
What's known as America's First Family of Oil, the Rockefellers, wants Exxon Mobil, the oil giant descended from John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil, to change it is ways. They're worried the company doesn't care enough about the environment or developing alternative energy.
