Government hides fears over Shell’s Arctic spill safety
Christine Ottery / Greenpeace Energydesk: 19 June 2015
As Shell’s Polar Pioneer drilling rig sails from Seattle into the north Pacific, Christine Ottery discovers that US federal regulators had serious concerns about the company’s safety equipment designed to contain any oil spill.
A US government department hid its concerns about Shell’s test of itscontainment dome system, which would be deployed if there was an oil well blowout.

The TRUTH will set you FREE.
