The Chevron Guarantee: Our well won't explode...or your pizza is free!

Last Tuesday, the residents of the small rural community of Bobtown in the far southwestern corner of Pennsylvania woke up to a horrible shock -- the sound of a massive explosion in their backyards. The source of the blast and the intensely hot fire that followed was a Chevron fracking well that had been set to begin production, but instead shot orange flames high into the air and gave off loud hissing sounds that could be heard hundreds of yards away.

<snip>

But the people of Bobtown who endured the Chevron blast got a sweet -- or rather savory -- consolation prize for all that agita.
Pizza, pizza!. OK. actually just...pizza.
