13 Climbers Suspended From Bridge Block Shell Oil Vessel From Heading to Arctic

Thirteen Greenpeace activists have suspended themselves from St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon this morning to block a Shell Oil vessel—the MSV Fennica—from leaving port for Alaskan waters. The climbers have enough supplies to last several days, and are prepared to stay in Shell’s way as long as possible, according to Greenpeace.
Last week, the Obama administration granted federal permits that clear the way for the oil company to begin drilling in the Arctic Ocean. The company is only permitted to drill the top sections of its wells because it lacks the equipment to cap the wells in case of emergency. The ice breaker carrying the required capping stack for the wells, had been receiving repairs to its damaged hull in Portland and is now trying to leave the port. Once the Fennica is at Shell’s drill site, Shell can reapply for federal approval to drill into hydrocarbon zones in the Chukchi Sea.

Royal Dutch Shell's money and patience will last longer than their supplies and will-power.

Just pull them up, or cut the ropes. Whichever is fine with me

Scruffy hopes those kayaks are environmentally friendly.

It is amazing that Bush was just thinking about drilling in the Arctic, and the media would discuss that story on a daily basis. Obama does it and not a single peep.

Ah and little do those fools know their hippie kayaks are made from oil products

Damn is it that serious???
Whelp...dems will lose a good portion of voters in Oregon, Cali, and Washington. Obama knows better, he's fricking up hillary's chances.

Don't be so mean. A slight nudge from the multi-ton vessel will do just fine.
Heck, give me an unlimited Shell gas card and my Gerber will have them down in seconds.

Probably used harnesses made with oil based plastics and drove in their car powered by gasoline engines while talking about it on phones made of plastic.

A real hippie believer would make his own canoe out of a tree.
But that would require cutting down a precious tree.
Quite the conundrum for them

I'd love to see those ropes snap and take out some kayakers. Watch them all struggle in the cold water

That sounds super illegal. I'm sure the govt won't care though.
