Chevron Gives Residents Near Fracking Explosion Free Pizza

[DEAD7]

"Chevron hopes that free soda and pizza can extinguish community anger over a fracking well fire in Dunkard Township, Pennsylvania. From the story: 'The flames that billowed out of the Marcellus Shale natural gas well were so hot they caused a nearby propane truck to explode, and first responders were forced to retreat to avoid injury. The fire burned for four days, and Chevron currently has tanks of water standing by in case it reignites. Of the twenty contractors on the well site, one is still missing, and is presumed dead.' The company gave those who live nearby a certificate for a free pizza and some soda."

there's no such thing as a free lunch

Hmmm poisoning water supply for years and you get free pizza and soda, sounds like a fair trade.

William Kuis, 61, is a retired coal miner who lives about three miles from the well that exploded. He did not receive a pizza coupon.
“But I suppose free pizza is always a good thing,” he tells Newsweek, laughing.
As a retired coal miner, Kuis says he is well acquainted with the risks of energy industry work. Regardless, there is a natural gas well near his property, and says he is happy to see fracking in the Marcellus Shale-rich region. His community needs the economic boost, he says, and the wells are mostly safe. He notes that he does not drink water from the several natural water wells on his property, and uses municipal water instead.
“This area, we have dangerous occupations. You try to do everything right, but one little slip up can wreak real havoc,” Kuis says. “But sometimes it’s something you just have to put up with.”
