Supreme Court Case Against Shell As A Person, For Torture

Well, these "companies" are "people", so lets charge them with crimes as "people". CEOs on orange jump suits sounds great. It won't happen though, because these "companies" have "money". So we can all fuck off, because we don't.

It should make for an interesting hearing, and I will post the audio Friday.

Shell Oil Moves Ahead With Arctic Oil

The EPA gives the go-ahead, after air quality issues were addressed.  That's good.  Everyone else has opened up their Arctic waters to drilling, so we should too.

I just wish like hell, that people would realize that this does VERY LITTLE for America.  Oil production is dumped into a Global Market, and OPEC can offset any increase in production elsewhere.  This oil does not belong to America.  We are giving it to rich companies for pennies, so they can make rich stock-holder people, richer.

In my opinion, that means they can all pay some more taxes.  Drill baby drill...

UN Mad At Shell Oil

Maybe a chunk of those profits this quarter will go to clean up your mess in Nigeria????

Nigeria OK'd To Sue Shell For Oil Spills

Um, why do UK courts have to "OK" this? Doesn't Nigeria have courts? Did they not sign/read contracts?

The Shell FLNG Project

It will be the biggest ship in the world.  And we give them tax breaks so they make billions world-wide.  Pretty smart.



Oh, forgot to mention it will be the biggest target on the planet for terrorists.

No Oil For Nigeria

I can't blame Shell for shutting down Oil production, the residents can't negotiate, so they attack the pipelines. Now they will get nothing. The Nigerian Government should be attacked for holding out, but I think it would better if MEND found ways to attack them, not the pipelines. It's all a messy situation, and now Shell is caught in the middle, and sitting on a large investment, that is producing naught.
