How one woman fought one of the world’s biggest oil companies — and won
Officials in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, are currently mulling a proposal from Shell Oil to build a new chemical plant in their backyard. But before they make a decision, they might want to listen to some advice from a 71-year-old retired teacher who lives in another small town thousands of miles away.
“You should have input in what is going on,” warns Margie Richard of Norco, Louisiana.
Richard’s words of caution come from experience: She fought her own battle against a Shell chemical plant in her hometown — and won.
