Chevron To Pennsylvania Town: Sorry We Murdered You With Fracking, Here’s A Coupon For Pizza [View all]
No, this isn't parody. this is our country. these are the corporations that own our country and dictate our laws.
Who says there’s no corporate responsibility these days? When two natural gas wells in Dunkard Township — or maybe it was Bobtown — Pennsylvania, exploded last week and burned for five days, injuring one worker and leaving another missing and presumed dead, the good folks at Chevron were quick to offer the people of the town — whichever town it is — a little something to say “We’re sorry for the explosion and fire in whichever town you live in”: They’re distributing letters of apology and a nice coupon for a free large pizza (and 2-liter bottle of soda) to about 100 households in the town of Bobtown, or maybe Dunkard Township.
You have to admit that it’s a very nice gesture.
The letter delivered to residents reads,
Dear Neighbor,
We are sorry to have missed you. We wanted to provide you with a status update on the February 11 incident that occurred on Chevron’s Appalachia’s Lanoce 7 H well pads in Dunkard Township and see if you had any questions or concerns that we could address.
Chevron recognizes the effect this has had on the community. We value being a responsible member of this community and will continue to strive to achieve incident-free operations. We are committed to taking action to safeguard our neighbors, our employees, our contractors and the environment.
If you have any questions, please call our toll free community line at 1-877- [redacted because we aren't trolls -- Dok Z]
Thank you,
Chevron Community Outreach Team
