Shell Plans to Drill In Arctic Ocean, Despite Setbacks, Protests and Lawsuits
Reaching for Remote Hydrocarbon Riches, Shell Oil Plans to Drill In Arctic Ocean, Despite Setbacks, Protests and Lawsuits
By John J. Berger, Ph. D.
Where are we heading now in our quest for more “cheap energy”? North, to the Arctic!
Despite the Obama Administration’s jawboning about the dangers of climate change and the Administration’s Climate Action Plan, it has recently given conditional approval to Shell Oil to drill for oil in the perilous waters of the Chukchi Sea.
Experts who know the risks of drilling in those cold and remote waters say there is a high probability of an oil spill and that Shell has no credible means of cleaning it up. The company’s record scarcely inspires confidence.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
