La \u201cLey para detener la perforaci\u00f3n de 2015\u201d todav\u00eda tiene que pasar por comit\u00e9s, debates y discusiones, pero espera que el Congreso la considere pronto.<\/p>\n<p>Merkley dijo a KOIN 6 News&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/imo\/media\/doc\/Arctic%20Drilling%20Sign%20on%20letter%20Final.pdf\/\">\u00e9l envi\u00f3 una carta<\/a>al Presidente Obama pidi\u00e9ndole que rescindiera el permiso de exploraci\u00f3n de Shell Oil Company.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;La perforaci\u00f3n en el \u00c1rtico es un crimen contra el medio ambiente y no debe tolerarse&quot;, afirm\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>A principios de este a\u00f1o, el Departamento del Interior de Estados Unidos anunci\u00f3 la aprobaci\u00f3n para que Shell realice perforaciones este verano. Pero Merkley dijo que si ocurre un accidente o un derrame, no se podr\u00e1 contener lo suficientemente r\u00e1pido.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Los aspectos que hacen que la regi\u00f3n sea tan especial son su lejan\u00eda, su intocabilidad&quot;, dijo el senador. &quot;Simplemente lo hace todo a\u00fan m\u00e1s fr\u00e1gil en t\u00e9rminos de desastres naturales&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Su proyecto de ley \u201cprohibir\u00eda los arrendamientos de petr\u00f3leo y gas en la regi\u00f3n \u00e1rtica.
