On March 20 the EUB denied an application by Shell Canada for a license to drill an exploratory sour gas well approximately 13 km south southeast of Rocky Mountain House. It's a noteworthy win for this tiny community, since of the more than 6,000 industry applications made to the EUB the vast majority are approved. In Worst Case Scenario , filmmaker Glynis Whiting has skillfully documented each step in an intense conflict, presenting the arguments of both sides and highlighting vital issues relating to public health and environmental protection. It features valuable links, additional resources and news on the latest developments. The page also offers an on-line poll that invites viewers to cast their own vote supporting or denying the drilling of the well.
