Shell: Port lease is valid, so drill rigs coming to Seattle despite pleas for delay, protests
By GENE JOHNSON and PHUONG LE, Associated Press: 13 May 2015
SEATTLE (AP) — Royal Dutch Shell is forging ahead with plans to park two Arctic oil drilling rigs in Seattle, risking possible fines from the city and ignoring port commissioners who have asked Shell to wait.
Shell’s plan to move the two rigs to Seattle in coming days sets up a showdown between environmentalists and oil exploration advocates and touches off a wider debate about climate change and whether the nation should tap oil and gas reserves in the icy, remote Arctic Ocean off Alaska’s coast.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
