One step definition ... Shell suspends Alaska offshore drilling plan
Shell says it's giving up on plans to drill in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea this year due to an unresolved court challenge. This marks the second straight year the Dutch oil giant has been forced to shelve its offshore drilling plans over the court case.
Shell said Friday it will not drill this year because an appeal court has yet to rule on whether U.S. government approval of the company's 2007-09 exploratory plan was proper.
I wonder, is the court waiting for Comrade Obama to redo the already plan and put the oil off limits? Or is the court delaying to let the plan jjust expire, only one year to go. Otherwise you see, the court might have to act as a foil for the oil companies, and you know how public sentiment is running right now. So this is how it works, the courts now can make the drill no-drill calls based on what? Obviously the courts vast understanding of the wildlife and the environmental Marxists needs. Nice little cozy picture.
Several groups argue industrial noise and potential spills court hurt migratory whales and the Beaufort Sea ecosystem. Shell intends to proceed with seismic testing in the Beaufort and the neighbouring Chukchi Sea.
Industrial noise is now the cause celeb, the caribou, seals and polar bears might hear something. Aren't we keen on the animals, just not so keen on humans. The usefulness of the polar is to block these drilling operations. Modern drilling has no interference with wildlife, like on the Alaska North Slope, wildlife finds the drill rigs and pipelines a warming influence and helps to multiply the species.
Down the road in Canada, they are pursuing their fossil fuel resources, right in the same areas. All being done in an environmentally sensitive manner, without any concern for the noise that might interfere with the wildlife, or that fact that an animal might see a drill rig. So how much interference with human life is it going to take, before the humans tell the environmental Marxist to stuff it?
