Shell’s Arctic oil drilling faces fresh court challenge from environmental groups
Shell’s Arctic oil drilling faces fresh court challenge from environmental groups
Associated Press: Tuesday 2 June 2015
A dozen environmental groups have told a US federal court they are renewing a challenge to the leasing in 2008 of areas off Alaska’s north-west shore, where Royal Dutch Shell hopes to drill exploratory wells this summer.
The groups have twice obtained court rulings that said environmental analysis preceding the Chukchi sea sale was flawed. The Department of the Interior in March concluded it had corrected mistakes.
Erik Grafe, an attorney for Earthjustice, said on Monday the environmental groups disagreed and would lay out their claims in a future court filing.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
