umanity’s hunger for the
easy energy locked into fossil fuels has taken us into the last frontier.
The Obama administration has given Shell the nod to go ahead
and exploit the Arctic.
fuelfix in the
Houston Chronicle reports: “Shell is set to launch a new round of Arctic
drilling within days, after receiving critical federal permits that could force
the company to halt work thousands of feet above potential oil deposits.
“Under the limited Interior Department drilling permits,
Shell can only focus on one well at a time, and it cannot penetrate potential
oil- and gas-bearing zones some 8,000 feet underground, at least until a
damaged company-contracted icebreaker returns from repairs in Oregon.”
