OMG, Sydney. Why are you "reporting" on this? Some random dude is "considering" doing something? Again, just another opportunity to re-print, without reflection or critical analysis, some talking points from opponents of having Shell do off-season repairs on its fleet. Either you have an agenda, and are therefore a crappy news reporter, or believe anything Greenpeace sends you, and are therefore a crappy news reporter. And I oppose having Shell doing off-season repairs on its fleet in Seattle.
Also, for what it's worth, since Sydney enjoys bringing random unrelated topics into articles, there are plenty of reasons to oppose GMOs than whether or not studies have found them safe to eat. Although nuance is not her strong suit, so perhaps I should not be surprised that this is lost on her.
