Oil giant Shell is set to begin drilling for oil in the Arctic within the next two weeks, as 30 ships have left Alaskan harbours towards two exploratory wells.
The Arctic is one of the planet’s most oil and gas-rich places, and the company’s oil exploration was given the go-ahead by the US Department of Interior in May.
Although environmentalists oppose the controversial project, Shell says oil can be extracted safely from the area.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
