The surveys are a prelude to bringing in drilling rigs to exploit the pristine region for fossil fuels, MPs have warned.
Reserves totalling 511bn barrels of oil about 10 times the North Seas entire 50-year output have been reported to Moscow by Russian research ships, according to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week

Hopefully ruzzia will cease to exist in the near future and the push for oil will die down. Geeze.

(4,589 posts)3. Exactly what we need. More cheap oil. More arctic despoiling. More arctic heating. I won't be here.
I plan to make an ash of myself in ten years or less based on my health. Of course some will say I already started when I began posting on D.U.
