Shell wins restraining order against Greenpeace
WASHINGTON — Hours after stormy weather forced Greenpeace activists to climb off an Arctic drilling rig in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Shell won a temporary restraining order blocking the group from similar protests.
The ruling, by U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason, bars Greenpeace and its activists from boarding, barricading or interfering with the movement of the drillship Noble Discoverer, the drilling rig Polar Pioneer or the heavy-lift vessel Blue Marlin.
Gleason stopped short of granting Shell Oil Co.’s request for a broader temporary restraining order that also would bar Greenpeace from encroaching on other support vessels that make up the company’s large Arctic drilling fleet, though the judge will consider the issue — and whether a permanent injunction is warranted — during an April 28 hearing in Anchorage.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
