Shell’s Arctic plan counters U.S. walrus protections -green groups
“There does not appear to be any way that the federal government can allow Shell to proceed as the company has planned…”
23 June 2015
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Green groups urged the U.S. Department of Interior on Tuesday to revoke the agency’s conditional approval of Royal Dutch Shell’s 2015 Arctic oil exploration plan, saying it runs counter to established protections for walruses.
A 2013 rule implemented by the Fish and Wildlife Service, a bureau of the Interior Department, prevents energy companies from exploring for oil simultaneously at wells in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska that are within 15 miles (24 km) of each other.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
