Cheaper, Cleaner Energy
Holding Big Oil Accountable
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.
