WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to President Trump’s executive orders removing protections and moving to reopen risky offshore drilling, Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley today re-introduced the Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act, a major piece of legislation to permanently protect the Arctic from offshore drilling.<\/span><\/p>\n

La legislaci\u00f3n impedir\u00eda cualquier arrendamiento nuevo o renovado para la exploraci\u00f3n, desarrollo o producci\u00f3n de petr\u00f3leo, gas natural o cualquier otro mineral en el \u00e1rea de planificaci\u00f3n del Oc\u00e9ano \u00c1rtico.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAbrir nuevas \u00e1reas a la exploraci\u00f3n petrolera en el \u00c1rtico en un momento en que ya estamos lidiando con los impactos devastadores del cambio clim\u00e1tico es el colmo de la irresponsabilidad. Los esfuerzos imprudentes de la administraci\u00f3n Trump para abrir una nueva y enorme fuente de contaminaci\u00f3n por carbono amenazar\u00edan a las comunidades, los recursos y los ecosistemas locales, al tiempo que exacerbar\u00edan el cambio clim\u00e1tico que ya da\u00f1a nuestra econom\u00eda y el medio ambiente\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cEl \u00c1rtico es demasiado fr\u00e1gil para soportar el tipo de derrame de petr\u00f3leo que ser\u00eda inevitable si contin\u00faa la perforaci\u00f3n. Para evitar una cat\u00e1strofe ambiental, debemos prohibir total y permanentemente la perforaci\u00f3n en el Oc\u00e9ano \u00c1rtico\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

El Departamento del Interior estimados<\/span><\/a> que existe un 75 por ciento de posibilidades de que se produzca un gran derrame de petr\u00f3leo, que supere los 42.000 galones, si se desarrollaran arrendamientos de perforaci\u00f3n en el \u00c1rtico. El \u00c1rtico tiene uno de los ecosistemas m\u00e1s delicados del mundo, as\u00ed como algunas de las condiciones de navegaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s extremas y peligrosas, lo que limita gravemente la capacidad de respuesta ante un derrame de petr\u00f3leo o un accidente. Hasta la fecha, no ha habido ninguna operaci\u00f3n exitosa de petr\u00f3leo y gas en el Oc\u00e9ano \u00c1rtico. La incursi\u00f3n inicial de Shell en el \u00c1rtico en 2012 result\u00f3 en una plataforma petrolera abandonada y una operaci\u00f3n de la Guardia Costera para salvar ocho vidas.<\/span><\/p>\n

El \u00c1rtico tambi\u00e9n alberga especies en peligro de extinci\u00f3n, como las ballenas de Groenlandia, los osos polares y las focas anilladas, as\u00ed como ecosistemas fr\u00e1giles y de valor incalculable que son fundamentales para la pesca local, las poblaciones ind\u00edgenas y los cazadores de subsistencia. Las operaciones de perforaci\u00f3n en el Oc\u00e9ano \u00c1rtico amenazar\u00e1n a estas especies y comunidades, todo por petr\u00f3leo que retrasar\u00e1 los esfuerzos para la transici\u00f3n a una econom\u00eda de energ\u00eda limpia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of these costs and dangers, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management removed Arctic Ocean leases from its five-year program for oil and gas development on the Outer Continental Shelf. Additionally, former President Obama, in conjunction with actions by the Canadian government, moved to permanently protect large areas of the Arctic Ocean from offshore drilling. However, President Trump has already signaled a fossil-fuel focused energy plan and today explicitly pledged to increase offshore oil and gas drilling.<\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is, we cannot afford to continue burning fossil fuels for decades upon decades if we want to maintain a safe environment for our children. The worst impacts of climate change will happen if we allow global warming to exceed 2 degrees Celsius, or almost 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The world must transition aggressively and rapidly away from conventional fossil fuels and toward the use of renewable energy, and we certainly cannot continue to push new, dangerous fossil fuel development.<\/span><\/p>\n

El proyecto de ley est\u00e1 copatrocinado por el senador Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), el senador Bernie Sanders (I-VT), el senador Martin Heinrich (D-NM), el senador Cory Booker (D-NJ), el senador Al. Franken (D-MN), la Senadora Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) y el Senador Ben Cardin (D-MD), el Senador Bob Men\u00e9ndez (D-NJ), el Senador Gary Peters (D-MI) y la Senadora Kamala Harris (D -CALIFORNIA).<\/span><\/p>\n

Senator Merkley first introduced the Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act in July 2015. In June of that year, Senator Merkley led a group of Senators in authoring a letter to President Obama urging the administration to rescind Shell Oil Company’s conditional Exploration Permit in the Chukchi Sea. Senator Merkley wrote that new lease sales in the Chukchi Sea and Arctic Ocean are an unnecessary risk that threatens local communities, fragile ecosystems, and efforts at climate change mitigation.<\/span><\/p>\n
