Romanians Protest Chevron Shale Plan

摘要

Thousands of Romanians across the country protested on Thursday against Chevron’s plans to explore for shale gas, demanding the country’s leftist government withdraw concessions and ban drilling of the US company’s first test wells. About 500 rallied in the town of Barlad on the eastern border with Moldova where Chevron has a nearby 1.6 million acre concession, some wearing gas masks, many chanting “Chevron go home.”
