Brilliance is sexy. Why wouldn't this idea work? Of course do they want it to work anyway? You'd still have the problem of the sea floor though.

Why wouldn't this idea work? Hmmm?? Because of the 40,000 PSI of pressure... The same reason they'll never be able to cap it.. The same reason it blew out in the first place, because they've never had to deal with pressure this high before.. Even the Soviets have never had to deal with this sort of pressure.. They've had to nuke wells that blew out that they couldn't stop.. Problem with nuking this area of the gulf is they drilled into a mountain basically, the granite that surrounds the oil is already fractured and a nuke will cave the whole thing in, and blow up all the methane coming up with the oil.. In other words,, WE'RE SCREWED!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!............... |

There were no casings put in to divert fissures from cracking. I work for a major construction company, and all of the old timers were astounded when they heard this. Even in small riverbeads, casings are put in. A nuke would blast the fragile top layer.
The reason they won't go solar/electric/fuel cell/wind is simple. The Military and War Machine. The Military-Industrial-Complex runs on Petrol and Nuclear. I have seen fuel cell powered semis, and they would do just fine, as electric trains so also. Al Gore the hypocrite has given Green Technology a bad name. Yes, he's a phony, and I wonder sometimes whether he is a plant.

BP is claiming that it has been capped.
