A remix that redefines a Chevron commercial with clips from Hollywood war films.
*With that in mind, sensitive viewers should proceed with caution.
(Pardon the repost. The video from earlier today was scrubbed from YouTube).
The narrator's words:
And outside
the debate rages.
Oil,
energy,
the environment.
It is the story of our time
and it is definitive
and all-encompassing.
And it leaves no one untouched.
Because make no mistake,
this isn't just about oil companies.
This is about you,
and me,
and the undeniable truth that at this moment
there are 6 and a half billion people on this planet,
and by year's end there will be another 73 million.
And every one of us will need energy to live.
Where will it come from?
This is our challenge each day.
Because for today and tomorrow and the forseeable future,
our lives demand oil.
But what's also true
is that we can provide it more intelligently,
more efficiently,
more respectfully.
That we'll never stop looking for alternatives.
This is who we are.
In 180 countries.
Not corporate titans,
but men and women of vision.
58,000 citizens of the world.
engineers and scientists,
pipeline welders and geologists,
husbands and wives,
part-time poets and coaches.
People who daily try to find newer ways,
cleaner ways,
to power the world.
Humans have always reached for what seemed impossible.
Because it is then that we find a way.
Tell us it can't be done
then watch as we tap the greatest source of energy in the world.
Ourselves.
This is the power of human energy.
