Gee, another surprise!
Shell Oil Company has announced it must scrap efforts to drill for oil this summer in the Arctic Ocean off the northern coast of Alaska. The decision comes following a ruling by the EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board to withhold critical air permits. The move has angered some in Congress and triggered a flurry of legislation aimed at stripping the EPA of its oil drilling oversight.
Shell has spent five years and nearly $4 billion dollars on plans to explore for oil in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. --FoxNews quoted at Gateway
Next thing you'll hear from TehWon is that 'Shell Oil is not working on their lease-holding in the Arctic'...
For a corp that pulls in nearly $400m per DAY in profit, $4b is chump change. Or did you want us to feel sorry for them?
ReplyDeleteYou may not feel sorry for Shell, but maybe you can feel sorry for those who would have bewen employed and the off-shoot businesses that follow. How about lowering gas prices? Why does Obama hate the poor and the unemployed so much. Then of course, we don't need those jobs, extra tax revenue the jobs and oil would produce, do we anon?
ReplyDeleteGet off oil and focus on renewable. Period!
ReplyDeleteYes, Harry Reid, thanks for your response.
ReplyDeleteYou mean all the green energy companies that are either filing for bankruptcy, running out on their commitments, stealing money from the taxpayers and maybe, just maybe making a product.
Green energy may happen in a hundred years but that's about it.
You don't people think were saying the same thing about the oil companies when they first started out in the 1860's?
ReplyDeleteI am going to rape Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThe question is not the $4Bn lost on the deal.
ReplyDeleteThe question is the reliability of the US government as a lessor.
Being a double-crossing shitbag is not the reputation I want my country to have.
For Anonymous, however, it's a mark of honor. Must be a union employee.
Anonymous hates the poor. Fucking little Scrooge, Anonymous is.
ReplyDeleteTime to exterminate these assholes.
"Being a double-crossing shitbag is not the reputation I want my country to have".
ReplyDeleteHey, Dad29, it's been that way for quite some time, regardless of who's been in charge! Where have you been?
And thanks for enabling the idle threats to remain for all to see from the deranged anony. And you say you're civil? I suggest you read the Bible about sodomy and listen to the message come Sunday.
So many anon's around, hard to keep track of people afraid to show their name.
ReplyDeleteOf course, with the comments they made, I don't blame for not using their name- shows how sick and stupid they are.
