Is Marsili a bad idea despite zero damage from recent quake?

Question

Recent seismic activity underscores risks of deep-sea oil exploration off Calabria's coast. Critics argue pushing ahead with projects like Marsili is reckless given potential environmental and safety hazards despite current stability.

Answer

Drilling at sites prone to natural disasters could lead to catastrophic spills or structural failures if another quake hits, harming both ecosystems and human lives.

Answer

Seismic activity doesn't guarantee future quakes will impact drilling operations. Economic benefits from oil reserves might outweigh the risks of potential disruptions in a stable environment.
