Why whould Texaco/Chevron have their tanks on your property? Where these tanks on your property with or without your permission? It sounds like the tanks actually belong to you. You should not blame others for your problems.

The writer also insinuates that Chevron is trying to interfere with the judicial process in Ecuador through the U.S. government. This is not true.
Foreign companies doing business in the U.S. expect and deserve fair treatment by our judicial system. Under the U.S.'s bilateral relationship with Ecuador, U.S. companies including Chevron should be able to expect the same fair treatment. When this does not occur, it is important that the U.S. government and other U.S. companies be made aware of the problem.
Texaco Petroleum performed an environmental remediation and public works program prescribed by, and certified by, the Government of Ecuador.
The Republic of Ecuador's failure to honor its contractual and legal obligations related to Texaco Petroleum's past activities in Ecuador is contrary to the spirit and letter of the trade preferences granted to Ecuador under U.S. law.
