You want to nuke the largest natural gas deposit in the world? It stretches from Texas to New York... You think it might ignite with a nuke? Maybe you have not studied the solution you are offering.
Well we don’t want to “Centralia” the thing. I am talking about scientists considering a small shaped charge. Lets not have some of the thread ravers using a straw man of nuke that would blow a hole the size of NY. No one is seriously proposing a 100 megaton nuke.
