Shell: #CommittedButNotAble
"Only weeks before it is set to begin drilling exploratory oil wells in the Alaskan Arctic, Shell has asked the Environmental Protection Agency for a last-minute revision in its air emissions permits, conceding it has not been able to meet all of the rigorous standards required for the main generator on the drill bit for its Chukchi Sea drilling rig, the Discoverer....“Shell was then and remains now COMMITTED TO MAKING EVERY EFFORT to meet the emission limits imposed by EPA,” the company said in its application, adding that its testing has “demonstrated compliance with a vast majority of limits.”" http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-shell-air-pollution-20120713,0,814051.story
