Re “Shell Alaska vessel hinders drilling,” July 8

Personally, I’m against any drilling in the Arctic. Even if no oil is spilled during Shell’s operations this summer, its fleet will release tons of industrial pollutants in the air every year, which would add to the levels of toxic chemicals and acid in the Arctic waters.

Environmental and wildlife concerns aside, though, it still doesn’t seem reasonable to expend so much costly effort on oil, a finite resource. If making money is a concern, Shell should figure out a way to fill the void when oil runs out.
