Clinton: Arctic drilling ?not worth the risk?

1	Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that the current drilling for oil and gas in the Arctic Ocean is "not worth the risk."
2	The Arctic is a unique treasure.
3	Given what we know, it's not worth the risk of drilling.
4	A campaign spokesperson later tweeted that Clinton's message is in reference to off-shore drilling in the Arctic Ocean, an issue that has become a flashpoint for environmentalists.
5	Clinton's tweet comes the day after the Obama administration gave Royal Dutch Shell final approval to explore for oil beneath the Chukchi Sea off the northeastern coast of Alaska.
6	Clinton has previously said she was "skeptical" about drilling in the Arctic, telling a New Hampshire news outlet in July that, "I don't think it is a necessary part of our clean energy, climate change agenda."
7	Her clarified position is likely to bolster her standing among greens, some of whom have previously questioned her focus on environmental issues.
8	Clinton began rolling out her climate change agenda last month but didn't address several issues important to environmentalists, including Arctic drilling.
9	Clinton's two rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, have both previously come out against Arctic and offshore drilling.
10	Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, a former governor of Florida, responded with his own tweet on Tuesday.
11	"Wrong," the Bush campaign tweeted to Clinton.
