it ran aground in alaska at the beginning of the year. and there has been since this mystery as to how and why that drilling rig ended up stuck on that island. the obama administration over the last four years has been very pro offshore drilling. they have sought to expand drilling wherever they can. but on this sensitive issue of drilling in the arctic, the obama administration gave the green light, very specifically, the only permits they handed out to start drilling in the arctic were to one particular oil company, to shell oil. shell was thought to be the gold standard, shell supposedly had the best track record of doing stuff that nobody else was able to do. so if anybody can drill the arctic, shell can. so shell's the company that got the permits and then this is what happened. shell sent two rigs up there to start drilling, one of them ended up under criminal investigation, ended up being detained in port after the coast guard boarded it and noticed more than a dozen potential safety violations, one of the two rigs. and the other o
