Shell is trying to drill the world's deepest offshore oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, according to Grist. What's the worst that could happen?
"The Shell facility will be further offshore and about twice as deep as BP’s disastrous well that blew three years ago. It took months to quell that undersea gusher, in part because of the inherent difficulties and risks associated with drilling for oil so deep under the sea."
Just think back a few months--I think you'll remember what the worst that could happen is.
