Mike Malloy - Shell To Resume Arctic Drilling Off Alaska

[hschulein]

The US government has given Shell approval to restart drilling in the Arctic despite repeated warnings from environmentalists that it could lead to an ecological disaster.

The Obama administration on Monday approved Shell’s plan to resume drilling for oil and gas in the treacherous and fragile waters off the coast of Alaska, three years after the Anglo-Dutch oil giant was forced to suspend operations following a series of potentially dangerous blunders.

Scientists and environmental groups on Monday attacked the decision and warned that Shell’s “risky and ill-conceived exploration” plan could “lead to a disaster in the Arctic”.

1. Welcome to the Corporatocracy!

And a Petrofascist one at that! What better proof could you ever want that the people are no longer in charge of our government? So, where do these greedy billionaire bastards who run our oil companies wanna go after they wreck this planet? How about making little bubble colonies on Mars? I all these scientists could just come up with a cure for the cancer of GREED! And until then, we'll just have to put up with rising sweat and sea levels as our planet warms, with no end in sight - except the end of human life as we know it.
