Oil Company Outrage - Alyssa Hamilton

In another environmental vs. economics crisis involving the Royal Dutch Shell the company cleared a major hurdle that was preventing them from drilling off Alaska's northwestern coast. This plan has been in motion for years and while there are still many permits left to be obtained before drilling can begin it seems that the clearing of this hurdle makes most protesting obsolete. Protesters against the arctic drilling have had all of their hard work cleared away in one swipe, making their job much more difficult.

Struggles between people and the economy have always been huge, but people have started noticing that the world needs protecting at times. Much like when the presidents started the National Park Services to protect the naturally beautiful areas of the world, these people are trying to keep oil drillers from ruining the nature in Alaska.
