This is 100% not true. Shell's Arctic response plan was approved by various regulatory agencies and was deemed adequate. In situ burning, dispersants, mechanical recovery. Note that 10,000 people were on the ground cleaning up Valdez and that sort of disaster is as easily mitigated as a spill from a well (can't really cap a ship). There's no reason to believe Shell couldn't mobilize as many or more.

I couldn't find a link to the full plan but it's on the internet somewhere.
