Arctic drilling: Obama gives Shell the go-ahead despite 75% chance of major oil spills
ALICE HARROLD: THE INDEPENDENT: Friday 24 July 2015
The Obama administration has granted permission to Royal Dutch Shell to drill for oil in the Chukchi Sea, off the northwest coast of Alaska.
The company was given the final approval for its application to drill in the Arctic on Wednesday in what was a major loss for green activists who have fought the drilling plans.
Shell has been granted permission start drilling exploratory wells about 140m off the coast of Alaska – one of the best prospective offshore areas in the world.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
