The Freedom Well Comes to Cambridge

(Fictional) Press release courtesy of In My Backyard



CAMBRIDGE, Ma, November 3 - U.S. oil giant Unocal, in cooperation with SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic), has just completed a two-year search for new oil resources subject to neither the whims of the weather nor those of global politics. The consortium has announced that a small but significant deposit of high-grade crude has been found in an area under Harvard Square. The news has caused oil futures to surge on speculation that there are larger deposits nearby. A proposed oil well in the Mass Ave area of the square is anticipated to gain easy community acceptance through an aggressive marketing campaign spearheaded by In My Backyard, a grassroots citizens group whose mission is to increase awareness of  "...every citizen's patriotic duty... to make small sacrifices in order to ensure a safe, sustainable oil supply for America and the world."
