Dear Leader would never dare allow it, even if it's the only solution.

“Closing the Gulf oil well leak with a nuke sounds like a bad action cartoon.”
Actually, it sounds like my post from over a month ago!

Conservatives should be screaming at the top of their lungs that this is an idiot idea. Circulating this by conservatives only makes them look like idiots.
The relief wells will be finished in August.

Why would it have to be nuke? Wouldn’t a line of conventional high explosives in a bore close to the well be enough to crush the well casing?

If the point is to make fun of those idiots I stand corrected. If the point is conservatives think this is a good or viable option then I stand by my original post.

Nukes can close off a well 98% of the time...2% chance that the hydrocarbon reserves are ignited instead of closed off, though.
Might make for a bad day...

MASSIVE STEEL RE-ENFORCED CONCRETE DOME
before we start nuking the gulf... could we please try a massive concrete dome? 2 connections, one at the top, one on the lower side, for water and oil... and the dome would fill up with oil as you pump/suck out the water (oil on top of water, mostly). have the ability to heat the hoses to avoid freezing... a long cable from the surface would supply electricity from the tugs/tankers
dome shaped to handle the pressures
low pipe to draw out water
high pipe to draw out oil
electrical heating units to keep water from freezing
lowered into place from surface
could be used as a cap instead of pumping the oil out
just my US$ 0.02 worth

Were doing engineering work by polls now ? :) Exactly. So, from now on there will be no need for engineers and we will leave all engineering to Gallup Research.

Yeah that’s all we need, to rupture the ocean floor and let ALL the crude out (Godzilla too) S
If BP can get a concrete hose down the hole, why can’t they get several steel I-beams riveted end to end and drop them in. 500’ of beam with a cap on the top should at least slow things down.

This is a horrible idea.
The leak is under a mile of water.
Drill a hole into the seabed, 3 feet wide and a thousand feet down? How many months would that take?
