YES Men & Survivaballs Face Chevron in San Francisco Protest
The fabulous YESMen along with Global Exchange are up to their activist antics bouncing their famous Halliburton Survivaball Executives down the San Francisco streets to protest against the profit before people and planet position of Chevron around the world.
In 2009, San Ramon, CA based Chevron became the fifth largest corporation in the world. And seven out of the ten largest corporations are oil companies. Despite greenwashing campaigns to describe itself as environmentally focused, Chevron has committed less than 3 per cent of its capital and exploratory budget on alternative energy investments.
Over the last decade, Chevron-affected communities from California, Ecuador, Burma, the Philippines, Nigeria, Iraq and beyond, have increasingly worked in coordination to hold Chevron and the entire oil industry in check.
Chevron has successfully lobbied to keep California from enacting extractive oil taxes.

DeVore on California’s expunged offshore oil drilling vote
http://chuckdevore.com/ – California has been overspending while driving jobs out of state with high taxes and burdensome regulations. One non-tax revenue solution that creates jobs: tap the billions of barrels of oil off the California coast using modern, environmentally safe methods of drilling. Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, candidate for U.S. Senate against Barbara Boxer in 2010, authored a bill to do just that. It passed the State Senate, but it failed in the Assembly where majority Democrats expunged the vote so it no longer officially happened at all. DeVore was interviewed by Fox News’ Stuart Varney on the issue.

Lt. Governor John Garamendi Critiques PXP Off-Shore Oil Drilling Deal in Santa Barbara (1 of 2)
On a two-to-one vote, the California State Lands Commission, chaired by Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi, denied the first new oil lease in state waters in almost 40 years.
Garamendi, former Deputy Interior Secretary under President Bill Clinton, argued strongly that the plan would signal that California wants to open offshore drilling and supporters would push for more oil exploration on the West Coast.
I refuse to let this lease move forward, Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi said. Approving a drilling proposal will undercut congressional efforts to reintroduce a federal moratorium on offshore oil drilling earlier lifted by the Bush Administration.
The Lieutenant Governor chairs the three-member State Lands Commission, which considered the request to lease land to the Plains Exploration & Production Company to expand drilling off the coast of California.
The Lieutenant Governor, who has consistently opposed offshore drilling, recently spoke with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, and other members of the California congressional delegation who had significant concerns about the lease undercutting their attempts to reintroduce a federal moratorium on oil exploration off the coast.
The State Lands Commissions staff last week recommended voting down the lease, because there were no sound guarantees that the company would have to shut down the plan.
This proposal is not in the best interests of California, Garamendi said. Approval of this lease would be the first time new offshore oil drilling leases were issued in California waters in more than 40 years — since the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill.

California State Lands Commission Hearing on Offshore Oil Drilling (3 of 7)

SANTA MONICA The California State Lands Commission (SLC), the state agency responsible for approving new oil leases in California, today voted for a resolution to reject a Department of Finance proposal to bypass the SLC to permit oil drilling off the coast of California. Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi, chair of the SLC, joined State Controller John Chiang in favor of the resolution, while commission member Tom Sheehy, Chief Deputy Director for the Department of Finance, did not cast a vote as he had to leave the hearing early due to a family emergency.
The State Lands Commission has had the authority to approve oil leases in California since 1937. A copy of the resolution is below.
This is a deliberate attempt to overturn the decision of this body, the State Lands Commission, a decision that was based on the finding that this proposal was not in the interests of the state, Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi said. The proposed legislation gives the power to move forward the lease to the Department of Finance, not the legislature.
This is a blatant power grab; the Department of Finance deliberately misrepresented the level of political support behind this, said Susan Jordan, director of the California Coastal Protection Network. It was appalling to watch. They dont like the decision made by the State Lands Commission, but that is precisely why we have an independent commission.
The three-member State Lands Commission originally considered the request to lease land to the Plains Exploration & Production Company to expand drilling off the coast of California in late January, but Garamendi joined State Controller John Chiang in a two-to-one vote to defeat the proposal.
The new drilling proposal offers California a $100 million loan that must be repaid by forgiving future royalty payments to California. This is an incredibly reckless fiscal policy, added Garamendi, chair of- the California Commission for Economic Development. The cleanup costs for 2007s Cosco Busan oil spill in San Francisco exceeded $70 million, and that was a comparatively minor spill compared to whats possible. California should leave new oil production in the 20th century and reassert its leadership in renewable energy production.
