I heard this mention during the first few days. It would be very controlled and just seal the leak. I wonder if BP doesn’t want it sealed so it can be used in the future? I am not that educated on the subject but a small, controlled nuke sounds like it would do a lot less damage to the environment than all this oil. Plus you wouldn’t have to add so many solvents to the water. I think people hear the word “nuke” and they think about some huge mushroom cloud. It could have been done at night and that would have been that.
Now, who do you think would be in charge of inserting a nuclear weapon into the ground?
Would it be the new CZAR Obama is appointing? How well do you really think that will go?
Since the fragile nature of the sea floor in that area is one of the main problems they are already dealing with, why would you think that it would just seal the leak, and not cause an even larger one?
When y’all figure out how to get it past the BOP let me know.
