Royal Dutch Shell’s plan to drill in the Arctic waters of Alaska next month is no laughing matter for most environmentalists, who still hope the Obama administration will deny the company some permits at the last minute. But Greenpeace is having some fun all the same.
On Thursday, a satirical billboard depicting a family of polar bears went up near Shell’s Houston headquarters. “You can’t run your S.U.V. on cute,” its slogan reads. “Let’s go.”
“Let’s go,” of course, is Shell’s own slogan – a kind of cheer for more natural gas drilling and other forms of energy development.
The ad is not likely to amuse many Shell employees or other Houston residents whose livelihoods generally depend on the oil and gas industry. But Greenpeace said it chose the slogan from over 10,000 online suggestions submitted online to ArcticReady.com, a parody site created by the group and the Yes Lab that mimics Shell’s logos and public relations efforts (with a twist).
In a less comical effort, Greenpeace is also sending a ship called the Esperanza to the Chukchi Sea, where drilling is planned off Alaska’s North Slope, to conduct scientific research that it says will show that the drilling would seriously endanger the fragile Arctic environment.
Opponents argue that drilling in the Arctic would be reckless because long periods of darkness and powerful flows of ice would make a cleanup of any spill difficult if not impossible. Shell counters that it plans to drill shallow low-pressure wells that are highly unlikely to leak and taking extraordinary precautions to protect wildlife and prepare for a cleanup should an accident happen.
So far, at least, the Obama administration appears to be leaning in favor of Shell’s plan.

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.
