Get Your Green on in Energyville

Chevron launched an online, interactive game designed to fuel discussion about the origin of our energy.

Energyville lets players select different energy sources to power their cities.

They can choose from biomass, coal, solar, natural gas,
petroleum, nuclear,
wind or hydroelectric
energy to run factories, light office buildings, and keep transportation and shipping moving along.


The game calculates the economic, security and environmental costs of each choice, and then calculates an energy management score. Next, the game reveals how the choices will impact the city in 2015 and 2030, a time at which Chevron calculates global energy demand will have risen by 50 percent.

Players can see how they scored against others and are then invited to join discussion forums.

…Chevron gained lots of attention for its Will You Join Us efforts. It was credited with being the first Big Oil company to raise the specter of Peak Oil, the theory that at some time, the world’s production of petroleum will reach its peak and, after that, begin to decline.
