A Simple Proposal for Future Offshore Drilling: Plan for Failure
Often mitigating damage is easier than preventing it:
1) Require all future oil wells have one or more relief wells drilled right at the start.
2) Require companies slowly retrofit existing wells.
3) Resume drilling.
Fix the real problem: We don’t have a response plan for oil spills.
This may be an effective policy to allow us to more safely engage in this type of drilling in the future.
