Mr. Bill Says "Shell Noooo!" to LNG in the Gulf of Mexico

Remember Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live? Watch this short to hear him say "Shell NOOOOO" to fish-killing machines in the Gulf of Mexico. This short played a critical role in helping win a huge victory when Shell announced in March 2007 that it would abandon plans for an off-shore facility in the Gulf of Mexico that would have jeopardized Gulf sealife. The Shell terminal's design would have needlessly killed billions of fish eggs, larvae, and zooplankton, jeopardizing important fisheries and the economies that rely on them. Shell's terminal alone could have destroyed the equivalent of 5% of Louisiana's annual redfish catch. Fortunately, fish-friendly, cost-effective alternatives do exist. Oil companies are using these alternatives elsewhere in the country, but not offshore in the Gulf. Given the beating the Gulf has taken during this recent overactive hurricane season, the last thing the fish and the Gulf ecosystem need is the further degradation of our natural resources! New Orleanians are glad to see the Shell Corporation return to New Orleans, but we need Shell to take this simple step to protect the Gulf.
