Matt,
I have the duty today and it has kept me busy for sure... thankfully it is not too damaged and anything liquid is staying onside... it's about 40the miles away...

Thanks for asking!

That one looks like it was taken after it broke loose from the tugs, but before it came ashore.

Shell: "Oh, don't worry, drilling in the Arctic is perfectly safe and harmless."

Reality: Nothing that complicated in those sorts of conditions is ever 100% safe and harmless.

I'd gladly pay a bit more for gas if it meant not drilling up there, but of course Shell makes more profits if they do exploit it.
