Green Party: Bennett hails blow to big oil
End to Shell’s Arctic drilling delights delegates
THE Green Party conference ended on a happy note yesterday when delegates received the news that oil giant Shell will stop drilling in the Arctic.
But party leader Natalie Bennett warned that the decision was merely a “reaction to low oil prices” and not a resounding victory for environmental campaigners.
In her closing address, Ms Bennett welcomed the suspension of oil and gas exploration just off Alaska’s coast but urged world leaders to make a commitment to keep such reserves “in the ground.”
