How about this:

  1. Set a price on the cost of a spilled barrel of oil (eg $1,000 a barrel).
  2. Require every drilling rig to carry an insurance policy that will cover 7 million barrels of oil.  The Deepwater Horizon spill released 4.9 million barrels of oil into the gulf.  BP is currently paying $20 Billion into a response fund. 
  3. Require that those insurance companies demonstrate they can cover the policy.  Too Big to Fail = Big Enough to insure offshore rigs. 
  4. Watch as the insurance companies, motivated by collecting premiums and not paying out for damages, crawl over every square inch of every drilling rig.
