In the words of The Onion, "You gotta be fucking shitting me."
Shell is pushing to drill for oil in the Arctic. But don't worry, they've got it covered. According to Peter Slaiby, Shell’s vice president for Alaska, their containment system would include a dome that could be placed over any leak, and a funnel to take any escaping oil to surface ships. A rig would be at the ready to drill a relief well if needed.
Well hell, why didn't BP try that? Oh that's right, they did. For 7 months. Didn't exactly work out in that particular situation, did it?
