The global hunt for shale gas and shale oil reserves has drawn fossil fuel energy companies to Patagonia, southern Argentina. Shell is test drilling and wants to start large-scale fracking operations - including in nature reserves, and in an overall very drought-prone and pollution-vulnerable region. While profit margins in the US are already very low and companies including Shell are actually losing money on their US shale gas adventure, this report shows the Patagonian dash for gas could prove a wrecking experience, most of all for the people and the local environment.
Nieuwe olie- en gasvelden aanboren is niet nodig. In deze zaak eisen we daarom dat Shell hiermee stopt. Want de wetenschap is glashelder: voor het klimaat is elk nieuw veld er 1 te veel. Toch kiest Shell ervoor om door te gaan. Daarom stappen wij naar de rechter. Help jij ook mee?
