WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (UPI) — The U.S. government will work with Royal Dutch Shell as it operates in the remaining drilling season in Alaska’s arctic waters, an official said.
Shell announced this week it was abandoning parts of its drilling program in the Chukchi Sea after a containment dome designed for a potential oil spill in arctic waters was damaged. The company recently scaled back its ambitions in part because of the threat of encroaching sea ice.
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar applauded Shell for its commitment to what he said were “rigorous safety, environmental protection and emergency response standards” established for work offshore Alaska.
“We look forward to continuing to work with Shell to maximize the remaining opportunities this drilling season provides,” said Salazar in a statement.
Shell, in a statement on the containment dome, said it had pledged to work in the region only if safety assurances were guaranteed. The company added it would begin an exploratory drilling campaign further north in the Beaufort Sea in the coming days.
Environmental advocacy group Greenpeace described Shell’s delays offshore Alaska as a victory. Groups like Greenpeace say oil and natural gas exploration in arctic waters could cause irreparable harm.
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.
