Environmentalists insist feds must block Shell’s Arctic drilling while icebreaker is away
By Jennifer A. Dlouhy: 15 July 2015
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration cannot allow Shell to launch exploratory oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean — even initial site preparation — without the company’s two contracted icebreakers on site, environmentalists argue.
One of those icebreakers, the MSV Fennica, is headed to Oregon for repairs after its hull was gouged July 3, and it could be weeks before it is able to patrol the waters around Shell’s drilling site in the Chukchi Sea.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
