Alaska oil prospecting project splits Democrats
Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has contradicted fellow Democrat President Barack Obama by rejecting a Shell oil prospecting project off Alaska. Obama’s administration has given Shell approval to resume drilling.
18 August 2015
Clinton put herself at odds with Obama’s administration late on Tuesday by describing the Arctic as a “unique treasure” and “not worth the risk of drilling” because of multiple environmental risks.
Obama’s administration on Monday gave Royal Dutch Shell final approval to resume drilling into an oil-bearing rock, 2,400 meters (8,000 feet) below the ocean floor off northern Alaska.
Shell’s original leases were obtained from the administration of the previous Republican president, George W. Bush.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
