Chevron + Sierra Club: Drilling for Common Ground

Dave O’Reilly, CEO, Chevron

Carl Pope, Executive Director, The Sierra Club

Alan Murray, Deputy Managing Editor, The Wall Street Journal – Moderator

Chevron and the Sierra Club both see renewable fuels as a growing part of our future. Yet as the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, they have different views on how that change should occur and who should bear the costs. Higher taxes? Voluntary conservation and efficiency? Government mandates? In their first-ever public conversation, O’Reilly and Pope discuss balancing energy and the environment in the 21st century.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club on June 10, 2009
