This oil spill sounds like the worst sticky black blot in the dark history of the human race... Get a grip dude. I'm sure in the past many oil spills have occurred naturally. http://www.livescience.com/environment/090520-natural-oil-seeps.html

I am not sure if you have a concept of just how large of an explosion is caused by a 1 MT TND, let alone 10 of them. This would be total overkill, not to mention political suicide for the messiah. > > However, as plan-B using our spent reactor fuel as made into a very > large stopper, might not be such a bad idea.

Why bother making a stopper out of DU?? That makes no sense. It would make more sense to make a stopper out of lead, however, at one mile below the surface, it is pretty damn difficult to do much of anything. The containment dome, properly equipped with heaters, agitators and methanol dilution systems to prevent clogging by hydrates, is a really great idea. Unfortunately, the politicians forced the engineers to deploy the dome before they were able to build it properly. |
