Shell Hosts Virtual Meeting with Community re Cracker Problems

Last night, Shell hosted a virtual community meeting to address air monitoring and recent problems experienced at the company's ethane cracker plant in Beaver County, PA. Executives answered questions about the plant's environmental record over the past six months, including a recent odor event earlier this month (see PA DEP Investigates Bad Odor Coming from Shell Cracker Plant).

Not everyone agreed.
