Interior Dept. Warns Shell on Arctic Drilling
Shell has already announced that it will not return to the Arctic Ocean in 2013, saying
would take a “pause” to repair its damaged equipment and review its drilling and safety
would take a “pause” to repair its damaged equipment and review its drilling and safety
systems.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that would not be enough. He said the company must demonstrate to the government and an independent reviewer that it has the equipment, the management capacity and a plan for all contingencies before it can resume operations.
“Shell screwed up in 2012 and we’re not going to let them screw up whenever their pause is removed unless they have these systems in place,” Mr. Salazar said in a news briefing Thursday.
*Esta noticia se
trata de un ultimatum que le hizo el departamento del interior Estadounidense a
la compañía petrolera SHELL, sobre su protocolo de extracción de
recursos en el Ártico, ya que como se ha visto últimamente, estas excavaciones afectan
mucho la estructura de los polos, y pone en riesgo la vida de los animales que
allí habitan, por eso el departamento del interior, le exige replantear sus políticas de
seguridad y cuidado con este delicado e importante terreno del mundo, para
reducir la destrucción que a mi parecer, ya es inminente
de los polos; ademas de esto, la noticia dice, que representantes de SHELL
presentaron una carta en respuesta, diciendo que ya han replanteado sus políticas de
seguridad y que no creen que deban hacer otros cambios en las mismas, pero las
pruebas dicen lo contrario, ya que gran parte de la destrucción del ártico es
gracias a SHELL, ahora toca esperar que pasara con esta decisión
porque es importante para TODO EL MUNDO, que se reduzcan estas excavaciones en
zonas que están en riesgo, donde no solo hay hielo, también hay
vida.
*Shell needs to think their security policies about care of enviroment, although climate change is imminent, must fight for reduce to the slightest damage to the planet, especially in the Arctic where there is life.

global warming, universal laws should be mandatory for all industries that care
for the environment.
