As it should be: in this land of gas-guzzlers and SUV-drivers, it would be out of place if Chevron DIDN'T see profits soar. Good for them. --- Chevron Earnings Soar 49 Percent to $4B By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Business Writer Fri Apr 28, 10:20 AM ET SAN RAMON, Calif. - Chevron Corp.'s first-quarter profit soared 49 percent to $4 billion, joining the procession of U.S. oil companies to report colossal earnings as lawmakers consider ways to pacify motorists agitated about rising gas prices. Chevron released its results Friday after two of its biggest rivals, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corp., already provoked public outrage with similarly large first-quarter profits. Combined, the three oil companies earned $15.7 billion during the first three months of the year. San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron's net income for the three months ended in March translated into $1.80 per share, two cents above the average estimate among analysts polled by Thomson Financial. It compared to a profit of $2.7 billion, or $1.28 per share, in the same January-March period last year. Revenue totaled $54.6 billion, a 31 percent increase from $41.6 billion last year. Investors cheered the results as Chevron shares gained $1.22, or 2 percent, to $61.20 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange. If not for continuing production problems caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last summer, Chevron said it would have made an additional $300 million an amount that would have generated the highest quarterly profit in the company's 127-year history. As it was, the performance marked the fourth consecutive quarter that Chevron has earned at least $3.6 billion as the company continued to capitalize on oil prices that have climbed above $70 per barrel since the first quarter ended. The run-up recently has pushed gasoline prices above $3 per gallon, much to the frustration of consumers straining to pay their bills and politicians looking to win votes in an election year. As Congress discusses tax changes that threaten to crimp the industry's profits, oil executives have been emphasizing that their companies have been investing in projects that will eventually increase oil supplies something that could help lower prices. Chevron raised its capital and exploratory budget by 76 percent in the first quarter to $3 billion. The company also it acquired a 5 percent stake in a joint venture that plans to build a refinery in Jamnagar, India that could process up to 580,000 barrels of oil per day. Chevron is considering boosting its stake in that refinery to 29 percent. Our company is in an excellent position to continue adding value for our stockholders and helping to satisfy the energy needs of the world economies, Chevron Chairman David O'Reilly said.

Maybe you weren't born yet but in the late 1970's many of us in the counter culture were into things like Small is Beautiful and survivalism (the non-right wing variety) and know how to do a lot of the things you mention there. Living in earthquake country you are supposed to be prepared for such things. It's probably even good to have a chemical toilet and cook stove you can use outdoors. As for medicine why do you think some of us studied ayurveda? There are even guides for herbs that grow in the west that work similarly to Indian herbs. I go for a walk every day and during the 1970's jogged as far as 9 miles daily. And we could probably recycle a lot of plastic that isn't going to disappear anytime soon. An EMF bomb would also put everyone back to the dark ages unless you've got a some solar generators and tech equipment (laptop, etc) stashed in a Faraday cage. Though it wouldn't surprise me if the metal casings on a lot of gear would block EMF. The American standard of living is bloated, consumes too much resources and needs to ground out. This could have been done somewhat painlessly but that's apparently not what the right wing has in mind.

Hope you don't count on a government to protect you and your rights in such a chaotic state. Because by this stage it surely will be survival of the fittest. Not a time for being passive and peace loving. If you think gangs are bad now, just wait! As for Ayurveda, well , I guess it's better than nothing until you get sick.

For the chaos I have the tantric siddhis. Stambhan comes in a little handy for stopping roving gangs or one can distract them with a little Uchattan. And then there is alway Maran if they get too out of hand. :) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
