She was on twitter this morning and showing off her t-shirt that brought about Shell's decision to stop drilling in the arctic for the year. All kidding aside, yesterday's news that Shell had decided to postpone their drilling of the arctic came as welcome news. This kind of postponement is very welcome. As we reported yesterday: Shell has abandoned controversial plans to start drilling for oil in the Arctic this year after a final test of its environmental protection equipment failed to meet the standards required to gain a full drilling permit.  The oil and gas group said a new type of "containment dome" designed for use in the event of a leaking wellhead  had been damaged during testing.

I gotta wear this T-Shirt to bed more often! #savetheArctic pic.twitter.com/UItmH010 18 Sep 12 Reply Retweet Favorite On 24 February 2012, Lucy Lawless and seven Greenpeace Protesters (aka The Taranaki 8) scaled the Noble Discoverer's derrick to protest Shell's plans to drill in the arctic. This protest signaled the start of an ongoing campaign to halt drilling for oil in the pristine waters of the Arctic. All eight protesters pleaded guilty of trespassing. The sentencing was due to take place on 14 September but it was postponed after Shell demanded (via the police) Greenpeace pay $700,000 in damages. The court case will next be heard on 22 November 2012.

Now this is getting ridiculous. It seems Shell wants some money...to the tune of $700,000. Check out Lucy's Tweet!  Voxy is reporting: The presiding judge has adjourned sentencing to November 22nd, on the basis that Police are seeking reparation. Greenpeace New Zealand understands that these are in excess of $700,000, and are being lodged on the behalf of Shell. Greenpeace NZ has insufficient detail to comment further, but it is likely that reparation will not be agreed to.       Lucy Lawless @RealLucyLawless Sentencing for the Taranaki 8 called off at 11th hour. #Shell allegedly wants more than $700,000.00. #savethearctic 13 Sep 12 Reply Retweet Favorite     What is this all about?

Her protest was not in vain. It brought attention to the world, Shell's plans to drill in the Arctic waters and started a worldwide education program on the dangers and what will happen when we have another Deepwater Horizon incident. It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when. It will happen. What will Shell do then?   The following is a report by AP on the latest developments.   Read The Article     10 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Save The Arctic -  So It Begins: Shell begins petroleum drilling off Alaska coast - AP 9 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Parks and Recreation -  Kiwi Comedy Lucy Lawless The Salem News 8 September 2012 Rob Tapert / Evil Dead Remake -  Rob Tapert & the cast of Evil Dead Remake cast photo     09 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Upcoming Climate Summit -  Lucy To Be Key Speaker at Power Shift NZ Pacific 2012 Climate Summit     08 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Stand Up 2 Cancer -  Lucy on The Insider For StandUp 2 Cancer 7 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Interviews -  Lucy Interview on The Film Freak Movie Talk Show Podcast 09 September 2012 Erin Cummings -  Photos of Erin at Fashion's Night Out Rizzoli & Isles -  Sharon Lawrence: "Listen to Your Own Heart and to Another Woman's Story"     Lucy Lawless StandUp 2 Cancer Andy Whitfield Tribute     07 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Upcoming TV Appearance -  Upcoming Lucy Appearance on The Insider on US TV 7 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Stand Up 2 Cancer -  Lucy Lawless and StandUp 2 Cancer Andy Whitfield Tribute Video Erin Cummings -  Photos of Erin at the Broadwalk Empire Season 3 NY Premiere Sasha Alexander -  Healthy Child Date Night event on Sept. 13     06 September 2012 Lucy Lawless / Spartacus Vengeance -  Spartacus Vengeance DVD Extras: The Making Of...Costumes Spartacus: Vengeance -  Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery Rulebook Available For Download     05 September 2012 Xena Warrior Princess -  The Power, The Passion - Xena's 17th Birthday!
