Shell facing stiff Seattle opposition
SEATTLE, May 15 (UPI) — Though Shell may drill in Alaska’s arctic waters no matter how many protests are held, a Seattle organizer said the company can be cast in a bad light.
Seattle organizers are planning weekend protests against Shell’s use of a port terminal for drilling rigs bound for the Chukchi Sea off the coast of Alaska. Emily Johnston, a spokeswoman for advocacy group 350 Seattle, said in response to email questions port consideration for Shell was offensive.
“We probably can’t stop them from getting to Alaska this summer, but we can make sure they don’t get to make such catastrophic decisions in quiescent business-as-usual conditions,” she said. “We’ll shine a bright light on exactly how bad an actor they are.”
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
