New thinking Asia solves the oil spill problem
Move over, BP. A major new Asian think-tank proposed revolutionary schemes to solve the oil spill problem in American waters. Or to put it another way, my noodle-shop gang was in a creative mood.
So we did some brainstorming and then sent six sure-fire schemes to solve the problem to the “what should BP do” website in the US.
6. BP’s first quarter profit this year was US$5.6 billion. Why not simply wad up the money and stuff it into the hole? There should be more than enough.
5. Simply borrow Japan’s Oita Stadium, the world’s largest dome, and drop it into the sea. (Don’t forget to ask sports fans to vacate the premises beforehand.)
4. Use genetic modification to develop sharks which drink petroleum. If people who regularly eat shark’s fin soup get sick, well, hey, that’s a bonus.
