Shell’s withdrawal from Arctic energizes activists
Activists plan broader green campaign
By Jennifer A. Dlouhy, Hearst Washington Bureau: Oct 8, 2015
WASHINGTON — Environmentalists who battled Arctic oil drilling by paddling kayaks, dangling from bridges and climbing onto rigs at sea have claimed a high-profile success against Shell and aim to funnel the resulting enthusiasm into other fights against fossil fuels.
Shell is abandoning its long crusade to find crude in the waters north of Alaska after disappointing results at a critical test well in the Chukchi Sea. While the company cited financial reasons for the pullout, the move nonetheless represents a tangible victory for environmental activists.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
