    Has van Heerden said anything about a slower and safer method of offshore drilling? How about letting the undersea pressure determine how much oil is pumped from a cofferdam placed over the drill hole? As the undersea pressure fills the cofferdam it is pumped up to the oil rig and loaded into a tanker -- slower but safer.
