US MANUFACTURING SUMMIT

Hi Friend, Walmart is at it again! The retailer, which imports more goods from China than any other U.S. company, just released an infographic touting its 10-year commitment to purchase $250 billion in products supporting U.S. jobs. But Walmart’s infographic needs some work — and so the Alliance for American Manufacturing decided to help out. We put together a corrected version of Walmart’s infographic that offers some much needed context.

Will you take our simple online survey?

We want to hear from you! Take our short survey>> Dear Friend, You know what's amazing? Less than a decade ago, King Coal had plans to build 150 new coal power plants. Those plans failed to take into consideration something incredibly powerful: You. With your help, we've not only stopped new coal plants from being built, but we've retired 197 that were already running. But (and there's always a "but" these days): a few weeks ago, Shell got approval to drill in the Arctic Ocean. We're developing a plan to fight back. But we can only stop them when you're with us 100%. So as the staff here gears up to take action and win big against Big Oil—and on all of our issues—I'm eager to hear from you, to build and strengthen our band of activists: Will you take our simple online survey? It shouldn't take more than 2 minutes! This supporter survey closes in just 3 days. Please help us learn more about your priorities and give us feedback—I promise we'll take it to heart. Thanks again for your continued support. Sincerely, Michael Brune, Executive Director Sierra Club

Shell’s ice management vessel damaged in Alaska

Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s icebreaker vessel Fennica returned to the Dutch Harbor in Alaska with a small breech in the hull, raising concerns about the company’s plan to resume drilling in the Arctic later this month.

Shell said in June it plans to restart drilling for oil in the Arctic off Alaska as early as the third week of July after a conditional approval by the United States.

“Any impact to our season will ultimately depend on the extent of the repair,” spokeswoman Kelly op de Weegh said in an e-mail to Reuters.

Hull damage forces Shell Arctic support ship in for repairs

Hull damage forces Shell Arctic support ship in for repairs

An icebreaker carrying a key piece of equipment for Arctic drilling planned by Royal Dutch Shell off the northern coast of Alaska was forced to return to dock after a hole more than three feet long was discovered in its hull, the company said Tuesday.

It was unclear if the mishap would delay Shell’s plan for drilling this summer.

The crew of the Fennica discovered the leak in a ballast tank on Friday as the ship was leaving the channel in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, on its way to the Arctic, Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said.

The company had not determined if repairs can be made to the breach measuring about 39 inches long and a half-inch wide while the ship remains in Dutch Harbor or if it will have to go to drydock for the work.

Smith said bad weather had kept Shell from getting an inspector to Dutch Harbor for almost two days.

WASHINGTON — Shell’s drive to resume Arctic drilling this summer has hit another speed bump, with the discovery of a hole in the hull of an ice management vessel meant to safeguard the company’s operations in the Chukchi Sea.

The MSV Fennica was on its way from Dutch Harbor, Alaska to the Chukchi Sea on Friday when a ballast tank leak was discovered by crew members and a certified Alaska marine harbor pilot on board the vessel.

The 22-year-old icebreaker has since returned to the port in Dutch Harbor and is being examined by marine experts, but it is uncertain how quickly the breach in its hull can be repaired and whether this will delay Shell’s hopes to begin drilling an oil well in the Chukchi Sea later this month.
