So let’s say a large energy company, perhaps Chevron, has come into your community exploring for fuel. And let’s say that Chevron screws up and one of their gas wells explodes, kills a worker (subcontracted worker of course), and burns for six days. And let’s say you live near the explosion site. What would you expect in compensation from Chevron? How about a pizza and two liter?

If it was only the pizza, I’d say no way, but with the two liter, I think we are all good.

Also, I was driving around rural western Pennsylvania last month and drove past a road called “Burning Gas Well Rd.”
