Mother Nature always wins: a response to Shell drilling in the Arctic 30 Jan 15

Fri, 30 Jan 15

Shell defies its critics saying it will press ahead with drilling for oil in the Arctic, the company’s CEO Ben van Beurden explains why. We also hear a response from Lois Epstein, Arctic Program Director for the Anchorage-based Wilderness¹ Society on the complexities² of the region. Also - another milestone³ in the saga⁴ of the Keystone XL pipeline⁵ as a bill giving it the green light passes the US Senate. PLUS with conflict still raging in parts of Libya and with the Central Bank having to raid its foreign reserves to pay its bills - how long can the economy survive? In Hong Kong we are joined by Lily Kuo, a reporter for Quartz⁶ and from Toronto, by Ralph Silva of Silva Research Network.
