Environmental groups push to end Arctic drilling after Shell quit
Anchorage AP reports Shell will abandon Arctic offshore exploration for the foreseeable future after a summer Chukchi Sea well failed to find enough oil or gas. Activists say the move should spark a broader push to halt Arctic drilling, while opponents warn that offshore extraction remains possible and policy debates continue. Environmental groups like Greenpeace urge binding limits and future scrutiny as Interior regulators review Arctic drilling rules and 2017 2022 lease plans unfold.
