Well, there wasn&#8217;t. Shell had dry holes. Now they&#8217;ve decided to close down and pull out of that area. Here are some of the details from Fox News:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Royal Dutch Shell said early Monday that it was ceasing offshore oil and gas exploration in Arctic waters after a test well yielded unsatisfactory amounts of oil and gas. <\/i><i>The announcement was a huge blow to Shell, which was counting on offshore drilling in Alaska to help it drive future revenue and had poured billions in investment and years of work into the exploratory well.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not an uncommon occurrence in the oil industry. It&#8217;s gotten better over the years, but they still come up dry on occasion. Of course, the Moonbats promptly took credit for this.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Environmentalists, however, had tried repeatedly to block the project, and welcome the news. <\/i><i>Margaret Williams of the World Wildlife Fund in Anchorage, called the news stunning. &#8220;That&#8217;s incredible. That&#8217;s huge,&#8221; she told the Associated Press. &#8220;All along the conservation community has been pointing to the challenging and unpredictable environmental conditions. We always thought the risk was tremendously great.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8876\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm-300x240.jpg?resize=300%2C240\" alt=\"double-facepalm\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?resize=150%2C120&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?resize=400%2C320&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>&#8220;Polar bears, Alaska&#8217;s Arctic and our climate just caught a huge break,&#8221; said Miyoko Sakashita, oceans program director for the Center for Biological Diversity, in a statement. &#8220;Here&#8217;s hoping Shell leaves the Arctic forever.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stupid-you-are.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17503\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stupid-you-are-300x240.jpg?resize=300%2C240\" alt=\"stupid you are\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stupid-you-are.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stupid-you-are.jpg?resize=500%2C400&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stupid-you-are.jpg?w=619&amp;ssl=1 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You just can&#8217;t fix stupid, and that&#8217;s what these morons are, stupid.
