Shell cancels 2009 offshore drilling program

By MARY PEMBERTON
The Associated Press

Published: December 19th, 2008 12:38 AM

Shell Oil has canceled its drilling and other exploration plans for next year in the Beaufort Sea while it focuses on court challenges to its offshore plan.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last month that federal regulators improperly granted Shell permission to drill.

Cluck Cluck the sky`s falling! "

She's no better or no worse that most politicians -- just prettier and flashier. I agree that is she hadn't trotted out her family a every event, the media probably would have left them alone. Instead of Trig's providing sympathy, he only allowed her to show how insensitive she is to the needs of an infant--to cart him around like a new fashion item. "

" Re: ValleyBlue
Not one candidate I can recall in my 66 years of life paraded their children across the nation stage as Palin so valiantly did for display purposes of, I`m the "Family values" candidate.

The hypocrisy and outrage over using her disabled child should be handed off to the very hypocrite who placed that child in the public eye from the beginning, Sarah Palin. Winning at all cost became more important than her children. The fact she removed then from school tells me what her motives were. "

Oregon faces a $850 million deficit for the FY 2007-09 biennium and is expected to grow to $3 billion for FY 2009-11.

I don't say I don't like her, I just say if she does want the media to leave her family alone, don't trot them out with her at every opportunity. She is a quite hypocritical in her actions. If she were ever to be President of the USA would she quit in a snit if things went awry and she didn't get her way. Makes one wonder. Huh? "

It is very likely that it will never be built. I've lived in Alaska 32 years, have followed the issue all the way and know of what I speak. Don't bet on the pipeline ever being built. It's a loser.

I agree that Palin's "farewell" (were that it were so) speech was generally odious in its dishonesty. I acknowledge no right by Palin, as a willing and eager public figure, to complain about the media, or about anyone who happens to complain about her.

I totally agree that Palin quit in dishonor. Palin is my idea of a hypocrite, and an irresponsible public figure with delusions of grandeur and entitlement. "
