Attention profit-lusting fossil fuel industry: the people have spoken--Shell NO!
Take your dirty out of state money & filthy rig and get OUT!

@1, The rig will leave when Shell wants it to leave. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
All you can do is complain. The fines that might be imposed are minuscule in comparison to it's wealth and power.

Look at all the unemployed/welfare recipients...thank goodness they have so much spare time on their hands....

Pretty sure te oil industry is the biggest welfare recipient in this

I bet the kayaktavists pulled their outrigs to the shore with horse-drawn carriages, only drank solar brewed morning coffee and made their kayak, jackets and life-vests with help from the magic polyethylene fairy.

@5 Wow you're so smart! The first person to point out that everyone uses oil, even the protesters! You clearly have no idea what they are protesting. Do some reading before you comment.
8
@5 yes and I'm sure every single person who celebrates Christmas is anti-gay and won't eat shellfish. Jeez. Everyone is a consumer, it's natural. But there's a way to consume RESPONSIBLY, which is what this whole thing is about. U will not be allowed to use that argument to undermine theirs.

The latest polls taken shows that the overwhelming majority of people in Seattle are in favor of having Shell resupply their vessels here. The World is moving towards alternative energy but it will take some time so let's be intelligent about it. Fossil fuel is not going away soon so who is the the hero here, the person trying to work towards making it safer or the person trying to sabotage the process every step of the way ?

@11 being intelligent about it would be to not drill in the arctic. Have u read about the high risk levels and consequences for WHEN something goes wrong (if u read about it u will find its not a matter of "if" but "when"). This is what the protests are about.

I wonder what percent of these Agents Kayakateur come from around Colorado or South Dakota.

If I were a western oilman doing fracking and slant drilling, which can only come in at a minimum of $50 ppb, I'd be afraid of low cost Arctic Oil and might fund a few "spontaneous demonstrations".

Perhaps we could vet their seamanship (ferret out the inlanders if you will).

Just a gathering of the usual Useful Idiots.

@2,@3, @5, @10 &@12: Your grossly misinformed ignorance is showing. You can all retreat to your pathetic troll caves now.
17
I have to say, while I think the protests are misaimed for what they hope to accomplish, some of the commentors who are against them say some of the stupidest shit I have ever seen.
18
Someone from China once favorited one of my tweets. Apparently I'm Drawing World Attention.
21
@16, you know that it is true that Shell will move the rig when they want to move it. That fact does not make me misinformed. But, it does show your Ignorance of the fact that Seattle has a long history of hosting and supplying drill rigs. Plus, the city and state make millions every year from Alaskan oil. And the only cave I'll move into is yours. We can be roommates.

Hoorah the protest worked! Problem solved! Right?
