With a historic presidential election just around the corner, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth told CNBC's Jim Cramer what kind of government action is important for his company.
"What really matters is consistent and coherent energy policy," he said.
Wirth stressed that energy is a vital part of the global economy, saying that if supplies are constrained by political actions, it can trigger inflationary reactions across the board.
According to Wirth, Chevron is apolitical and tries to work with both parties.
For example, he said, oil helps create petrochemicals which are used for a variety of manufacturing purposes, including to create materials for EVs.
