Well, Russia insists that nuking it will fix it. However from what I’ve read, that may pose a whole new set of problems. THe Gulf is home to the largest methane deposit in the world and the last time it let loose from a meteor (the large crater off coast of Mexico), it caused the dinosaurs to die from poisonous gas surging into the atmosphere.
All that can be taken into account. We have very small tactical nukes that would be perfect. I’d love the experts to study it’s use but the Feds and BP are too scared of nukes in my opinion. So no one is studying it. Instead they will take 2 more months for the relief wells to plug up the well
While the coasts and fishing resources get polluted for years. Those natural resources are worth billions more than one damn oil well. That’s seafood, shrimp, tourism, beaches out there. And coastal spawning grounds for fish...ALL POLLUTED over the months spent drilling relief wells. When this well could have crushed shut by a tactical nuke 5000ft down below the ocean floor
