Not going green: Obama administration allows Shell to pursue Arctic drilling
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Royal Dutch Shell cleared a major hurdle Monday in its plans to drill off Alaska’s northwest coast.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management approved Shell’s exploration plan for the Chukchi Sea.
However, this isn’t the final step that Shell needs for Arctic drilling.
Shell still must obtain other permits from state and federal agencies, including one to drill from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement and government opinions that find Shell can comply with terms and conditions of the Endangered Species Act.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
