My turn: No more dithering feds: Let Shell move forward now

By SEN. CATHY GIESSEL

Some of us in Alaska have been as attuned to Shell’s offshore drilling plans as we are to the summer Olympics. For years, we have watched Shell jump over hurdle after hurdle, much like a gold-medal Olympian, only to be delayed by baseless litigation by opposition groups and regulatory strangulation by the federal government. Now, with Shell in the final stages of approval by the feds, a final — hopefully surmountable — hurdle remains.

Currently, Shell is awaiting approval by the U.S. Coast Guard for its Arctic containment system — a barge named the Arctic Challenger tasked with assisting in the cleanup of an oil spill. Without this approval, the U.S. Department of the Interior will not issue the final permits to drill, and, consequently, Shell cannot begin moving its vessels into the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Delays and restrictions on the drilling season have already forced Shell to reduce the number of wells it can drill down to two. Further delays may seriously jeopardize Shell’s ability to drill even one well. read more

Some 25,000 Floridians have sought reimbursement for damage to their automobiles that they claim was caused by faulty fuel sold by Shell and Texaco gas stations, Shell Oil Products disclosed.

The fuel-quality fiasco that shut down Shell and Texaco stations over the Memorial Day weekend impacted other companies as well. BP, ConocoPhillips, Colonial Oil and Valero Energy Corp. were all supplied with the substandard fuel from a Port Everglades terminal operated by Motiva Enterprises, a refiner partially owned by Shell, a Shell spokesman said. Those companies, however, reported few — if any — complaints from customers. read more
