Dear President Obama,

As you know, right now one of Shell's Arctic drilling vessels is stuck on rocks just yards from Alaska's fragile coastline, close to Kodiak Island.

The Kulluk was returning from an unsuccessful summer trying to find oil in the remote Arctic waters in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. Shell has spent billions of dollars trying to show the world it can work in the most extreme, icy environment on the planet, but instead it has proven that drilling in the Arctic can never be safe.

Over the last year, Shell has made more mistakes in a few months than I ever feared possible. From fires to toxic emissions, near misses to actual groundings, Shell is charging towards a major accident in the Arctic like a raging bull. We must stop this reckless company from causing a Deepwater Horizon-scale disaster in the pristine Arctic.

Shell intends to try and drill off Alaska again in 2013 but after what I've seen, it is clearly not safe for any company to operate in the remote and freezing Arctic. Which is why I am emailing you today.

Even the head of the Department of Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement agrees, stating recently that someone outside the industry needs to call a 'timeout' to review whether or not the technology is keeping pace as companies push into increasingly risky areas.

Mr. President, that someone should be you.

As Arctic ice disappears, Shell is desperate to open up the far north to look for new oil reserves. But melting sea ice should be a warning to humanity, not an invitation to drill for more of the stuff that is causing the problem in the first place.

I am urging you to call for a timeout on all Arctic drilling. Please suspend Shell's permits to drill in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas and stop them from risking a devastating oil spill in this unique region.
