3-2-15 Here’s Your Invitation To BOEM Day In Anchorage – What Do You Call It When Enviros Give Aid & Comfort To Anti-US/Canadian Energy Attacks?

CEA invitation to attend TODAY'S Pre-BOEM hearing press conference and reception: _____________ Wall Street Journal Video: Western NY cities trying to secede from anti-fracking state to join Pennsylvania where fracking produces wealth and jobs.  Also ...

Shell Plans To Explore The Chukchi This Summer! Related Photo Cutline, Journal of Commerce, by Tim Bradner.  Alaska Gasline Development Corp. President Dan Fauske (NGP Photo) said the change in the Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline project to increase the capacity to a 36-inch diameter and use high-strength steel could allow up to 2.6 billion cubic feet per day to be shipped.

American/Alaskan Economy and Citizens Are Endangered Species!

Comment.  Yesterday, the world heard that the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) had conditionally approved Shell Oil Company's 2010 Chukchi Sea Plan of Exploration.  Amid the celebrating, however, one notes that the Federal Administration strategy to invoke death by a thousand cuts is alive and well.  For example, while MMS conditionally approves, the Environmental Protection Agency still dallies and evades a timely granting of an air quality permit--which can still stop Shell's multi-billion dollar investment in Alaska's OCS.  (To her credit, Senator Lisa Murkowski (NGP Photo) responded that, "Shell Oil is in [...]
