Summary Box: Greenland gas find fuels Greenpeace warning against damaging oil rush in Arctic
ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE: Scotland's Cairn Energy PLC has found gas off the west coast of Greenland, a discovery that environmental group Greenpeace warns could lead to a damaging rush for hydrocarbons in "vulnerable" Arctic waters.
THE POSITION: Greenpeace says Cairn should have followed the example of oil companies that suspended deepwater drilling after the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
REBUTTAL: Greenland officials say the drilling was conducted in accordance with very high safety and environmental standards. Cairn says the exploration is in the early stages and the well hasn't yet reached target depth.
