I have a not-so-bizarre idea for how to use about six of them. See if you can guess what it is.
Didn’t the Soviets or Eat Germans use nukes for earth works, back in the day?
What about intercepting an asteroid and destroying it in space before it collides with the earth.
Is this a slideshow? If so, not worth the click.
Why not just use them first and THEN figure out the best way to exploit the holes? I’m thinking of a really massive glass skateboard park right around Mecca...
One meant to explode over a southern city during an EMP drill.

11. Detonate several nuclear devices at various points around the globe in order to increase the amount of particulate matter in the stratosphere and thereby help reduce global warming.
“”Project Chariot” was the code name the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) gave to a 1958 plan to create an instant harbor on the coast of Alaska by detonating thermonuclear bombs.”
Yep, if there is one thing Alaska lacks is harbors on its 7,000 mile coastline.
11) Home self defense.

The scary part that this is what our government thinks up (in their spare time, when they aren’t playing computer games).
I remember a Project Plowshares idea to use nuclear weapons to excavate a new sea level Panama canal.
The day the High Altitude Test Ban Treaty was signed, which was hastened along by the Soviets, was the day BEFORE Project Orion was to be launched!!!
It would have worked. It was to be launched out beyond the dark side of the Moon, before engaging the system. But, the Soviets have been doing lunar research, on the dark side of the Moon, so they pitched a fit.
This engine, was the first attempt at what would become “acceptable science fiction”, as ‘impulse power’.
