More Than 1 Million People Urge White House to Stop Shell’s Arctic Drilling

WASHINGTON— More than 1 million people called on President Barack Obama today to save the Arctic from oil drilling. Petitions with more than a million signatures were delivered to the White House, where citizens are gathering to ask the president to stop Shell Oil from drilling this summer.

The new facilities could remain shut for several months, bringing down the refinery’s capacity to process crude from 600,000 barrels a day to its pre-expansion level of about 275,000 barrels a day. read more
