Here’s my idea: Anytime the oil companies drill offshore, they should have to drill a relief well at the same time also, since that is apparently the only way to stop something like this. For wells that are already there, they should start on relief wells for those as well. That won’t help with this spill, but at least we wouldn’t have to wait six months for something to stop it the next time it happens.
