A Reuters article tells of the response in Romania to Chevron’s attempt to drill horizontal shale wells there.  Pungesti, Romania, 150 miles from the Black Sea, and 210 miles from the capitol, Bucharest, is the site of a continuing battle between locals and Chevron.  For the second time in two months, locals have broken through a heavy anti-personnel fence to stop work.
