I've seen this pop up on FB all day and the corresponding discussion is all about how "we did it! congrats all around! we made a difference!"

Hey everybody, my complaints about Obama and desire for him to leave office have worked! In January of 2017, he's leaving the White House for good! I did it!

Yeah they made the price of oil plummet to the point where it's not worth it to stay there

It actually runs on normal low grade marine diesel, which is funny because the shell vessels they were protesting operated on low sulfur stuff. Bunch of bored hypocrites.

Some 30 Shell ships this summer provided an added measure of safety that will be gone next year, but international traffic is expected to continue rising even in the oil giant’s absence, said Reggie Joule, mayor of the Northwest Arctic Borough.

Without Shell, the region is more at risk of a dangerous oil spill or a life-threatening tragedy at sea, he argued.

Shell's pullout -- after the company completed a single well that didn't produce the oil sought -- will mean about 80 or so less transits through the Bering Strait.

We did it! We flooded the market with so much oil that it is dirt cheap and Americans don't need to go to extremes to get it because it's readily available from other sources! We did it!
