NewsNM note (Spence) - This week the U.S. employment numbers revealed a grim jobs picture. This story below is several days old. It is unlikely to ever be reported anywhere except on Fox News because it simply does not serve the climate change/global warming narrative of the majority of media outlets. Plus, news "producers" at NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN realize this news item would help voters understand the White House is actively blocking the extension of high paying jobs and also thwarting domestic oil production on federal land. New Mexicans should recognize the president has the support of Jeff Bingaman, Tom Udall, Martin Heinrich, and Ben Ray Lujan on these policies.
PHY-ORG - The heaviest polar ice in more than a decade could postpone the start of offshore oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean until the beginning of August, a delay of up to two weeks, Shell Alaska officials said. Unveiling a newly refurbished ice-class rig that is poised to begin drilling two exploratory wells this summer in the Beaufort Sea, Shell executives said Friday that the unusually robust sea ice would further narrow what already is a tight window for operations. The company's $4-billion program is designed to measure the extent of what could be the United States' most important new inventory of oil and gas. Shell has pledged to end its first season of exploratory drilling by Oct. 31 in the Beaufort Sea and 38 days earlier in the more remote Chukchi Sea to remain within the relatively ice-free summer season.
