Another Conservation Game

This time, from Chevron. In July we wrote about My Abodo, a consumer-focused exercise that enabled one to make choices about how they live then to see the impact of those changes on the environment around them. In retrospect, it was a very cool exercise and you can still see our little MeV home we created – optimized for lowest level of impact.

Today, Chevron has gotten into the act with WillYouJoinUs.com, more a Sim City approach to the same problem where you, the Mayor and CFO make decisions about energy supply then watch the impacts on economics, environment, and security through a few simulation phases over time. A screen shot of MeV City is located below the jump.

It’s great to see Chevron get engaged in this area, their bread is obviously still buttered by fossil fuels, but in the last few months they seem to be getting on the green bandwagon. Would it surprise you to learn that Chevron is the world’s largest geothermal electricity provider? Interesting, I’d think that geothermal power would be an option on their game. Oh well…
