Shell to court: We're ready to drill Arctic Ocean

This isn't about stopping AMERICA, this is about stopping SHELL. When you understand that then maybe you won't look like a total fool here with your "green hatred." This is also about MORALITY GLOBALLY since Shell is a GLOBAL company. Save your BS holier than thou politically partisan sermons for someone who gives a damn. Oil drilling KILLS THIS PLANET, wildlife and marinelife, and is contributing to the tipping point of our climate balance and it is way past time to move on to the future which is totally possible. But of course not to those stuck in the same status quo ruts. You need real vision to understand that as well.

But SHELL is the topic of THIS post. Your defense of these murderers actually makes me sick. Got it? YOU SICKEN ME.

This isn't only about DRILLING in regards to Shell. This is about HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AND MURDER. Are you that dense? Or just that much of a moral coward? Which is it? BOTH? I don't have the patience anymore to talk to scumbags who defend these companies just because it is either CONVENIENT OR FINANCIALLY REWARDING FOR THEIR LIVES OR FILLS SOME SORT OF BS PARTISAN POLITICAL/IDEOLOGICAL AGENDA. YOU are part of the problem. So don't sit there pontificating to me. I will say it once again so you understand: DRILLING IN GENERAL KILLS THIS PLANET, SHELL (complicit in MURDER in Nigeria) which is the topic of this post in corrolation to OIL is now begging to spread their destruction to the ARCTIC ( also don't recall typing the word America at all anywhere here) one of the most pristine places on Earth and also the one area being hardest hit by the climate change burning their shit causes, all the while KNOWING what that shit causes in the midst of one of the most destructive environmental disasters once again involving OIL. If you can't see the moral and ethical side of this discussion besides being absolutely BLIND to the environmental and economic effects of continuing to burn this shit thus bringing this planet closer to a tipping point, you are HOPELESS... And I have no more time to WASTE on you.

No, you were right on time. It has failed and they knew it would. It's called C Y A.

Right on! Sometimes I wish there was a hell, just for people like this.

How about we clean the mess in the ocean and stop drilling altogether?

i hear what you are saying but what do you plan to do to change the way things are done? you can just say that like "i dream of genie", but you have to replace it what about planes, trucks, ext. whom will pay to convert all the moter's of the planet to bio-deasal or what have you? we must not be knee jerk even if we are totally correct.

trust me i agree i haven't owned a car since 2002 and haven't had my DL since 2004 (no dui's just don't like the pollution and the half ass i care hybrid stuff)

Diesel trucks, cars can be run on 100% biodiesel with no conversion. I have a diesel VW that I run on 100% (99.9%) biodiesel in the summer. The fuel lines have not clogged. It runs fine. The only complication has been military, redneck republican interference as they don't want the public to know that you don't have to purchase their oil. (They have done all kinds of things to my cars, it has been horrible) This is soy biodiesel You can also run a diesel on grease, that when you need to add a heater and filter.

All cars can presently be run on up to 50% ethanol without any additions. I run my Prius on E-85 year round. David Blume offers an alcohol fuel conversion kit you can add to any car (i think it's about $300.00) that automatically makes the proper adjustments to run on 100% alcohol.

The present problem is finding the fuel. I live in the midwest so E-85 is available but it is GMO corn. I have to travel out of state to get soy biodiesel as the rednecks around here won't sell me any. The soy biodeisel is also GMO. We need sustainable non-GMO fuels to be widely available to the public. That's why people make their own alcohol or use grease.
