Nuke the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill

[Benji49]

Use nukes to contain the oil spill

I kid you not. It's about ten paragraphs down.

"Though it sounds more like fiction and somewhat outlandish, the fact is that Soviet Russia had used controlled nuclear explosions to contain oil spills, on at least five different occasions."

not sure where you're coming from with the sarcasm but this sounds like a viable option at this point.

U do realize that the delay in actually doing *something* about the spill is preplanned don't you? You should realize that actually having a disaster like this will help him pass his environmental policies that will tax the living shit out of everyone. This clown is a Nazi of the highest order.

I've been saying this since Day 1 and everyone keeps looking at me like I'm crazy

 

[S M W]

Shhh. You're not allowed to have a dissenting opinion anymore. Or wear american flag shirts. Look at his supreme court nominee! America as we knew it is dying from within.

 

[consigliere]

you guys do make very valid points. the administration (or any administration) will always use current events to their advantage. they are extremely cunning.

 

[ricdes]

lolol yeah bc nuclear fallout is easier to get rid off than oil!

 

[Air2air]

Totally agree with SBW politically.

I read that this spill is 5 million gallons, but every year 27 million gallons seeps up from the ocean floor anyway in US waters.

But I had been wondering the same thing about the leak; you could just drill a hole a 100 ft away or so - say 1,000 ft down, and you woudn't even need a nuke. There's plenty of conventionals that would do the job.

Explain?

I think any explosives are a bad idea. There is something going on there. Maybe that pocket of oil is highly pressurized or something.

They really were not trying to drill and it wont stop. They should have turned it on then. It woulda been a big money maker.

Actually, sorta trying to blame the current US admin is a bit wrong, if I may disagree with you.

BP really fucked up. And the more you research their history, the more you realize they are the asshats of the oil industry. They have a reputation of non-compliance and recklessness. That is to say, they are screwing it up for everybody, and not for the first time)

(Note: I am the webmaster for an oil and gas investment website. Some of the stocks in our portfolio took a hit because of those idiots. So yeah, I'm showing bias)
