34. There will be more blowouts to consider
Ultra deep sea drilling is high-risk, and the deeper they go, the riskier it gets.

So there will be more blowouts in the future. It may be next month, next year, next decade, but even according to industry risk assessments, they will be rare, but they WILL happen.

The result will be that huge areas of the oceans, and huge shoreline areas, will become dead zones.

The only way to avoid this is to stop all ultra deep sea drilling and extraction.

Which we are too stupid to do.
