As Shell’s drilling vessels make their way to the Arctic, Greenpeace is following close behind. Now some lawmakers are scrutinizing the fact that the activist group’s northward journey escaped analysis while Shell faces unprecedented attention from government agencies.
Greenpeace announced it would be following alongside Shell’s vessels in order to protest and monitor the oil company’s Arctic exploration; the group also plans to deploy submarines upon reaching Arctic waters. Jackie Dragon, Greenpeace’s lead Arctic campaigner, told Fuel Fix that Greenpeace is “headed to the Arctic to show how little is known about this pristine ecosystem before Shell’s rigs move in to destroy it.”
According to a press release sent out on Friday, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., are riled up by Greenpeace’s protest plans. The duo wrote to the heads of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, stating in part:
“NOAA’s and BSEE’s analysis of planned oil and gas exploration in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas has (meant) unprecedented attention to the potential impacts of vessels and other activities…Though the potential for impacts is similar, there has been no such analysis or permitting of the planned protest activities or the operation of the vessels participating in them.”
Dan Howells, Greenpeace deputy campaigns director, struck back, telling Fuel Fix that “If Sen. Murkowski really cared about protecting Alaska and the environment, she would be focused on stopping Shell’s Arctic drilling operations, instead of cheerleading for Big Oil and trying to block scientific research and peaceful protest.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
