Makes you wonder how many feds were involved in permitting Shell.  Or maybe they all just are having drugs and prostitution with industry? Where were Alaska reporters when Shell Oils illegal lease sales were being manipulated by corrupt DOI federal officials?   I'm sure Pebble Partnership likes to wine and dine officials that only permit industry projects, not support science-based permitting decisions.  Maybe Pebble needs to learn from Shell Oil company to make permits and leases go industry style.
