For Oil Or Whales

Independent Online Edition > Business News: "Shell is facing a mounting international backlash against its 11bn Pound plans to exploit the vast energy reserves off the coast of this former top secret Soviet military base north of Japan. It has already been forced to re-route oil pipelines that threatened to disrupt the breeding grounds of the critically endangered western grey whale, and has suspended other works."

With oil prices being so high I thought this would be an interesting post to that effect. Shell is under a lot of pressure to keep its operations from disturbing the endangered whales in the pacific (around Japan).

There's a delicate balance that must be maintained between human needs and the need to preserve the earth and species on this planet... and apparently shell is stuck somewhere in the middle of this.

Hopefully they clean it up soon...
