The recent remand of air permits issued by the Environmental Protection Agency was the final driver behind the decision, Slaiby said at a news conference.
Alaska receives upward of 90 percent of its general fund revenue from the petroleum industry, and top state officials reacted strongly to the decision. U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, blamed the Obama administration and the EPA.
"Their foot dragging means the loss of another exploration season in Alaska, the loss of nearly 800 direct jobs and many more indirect jobs," Begich said. "That doesn't count the millions of dollars in contracting that won't happen either at a time when our economy needs the investment."
(THIS IS THE BLATANT ACTS OF THE DON'T CARE ADMINISTRATION ABOUT YOU.)
The subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell PLC has invested more than $3 billion in exploration off Alaska's coast since 2005, Slaiby said. The company paid $2.2 billion for leases in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast that have been challenged.
(THE ADMINISTRATION NEVER HAD TO INVEST ANYTHING BUT TO ONLY COLLECT LEASED TAXES AND MORE TAXES YET THEY STAND ON THE WAY OF PROGRESS AND JOBS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH).
