Russia has used a nuclear bomb five times to seal oil spills
Dit is echt voor het eerst dat JdeW met groot genoegen uitkijkt naar het gebruik van bunkerbusters. Ik bedoel, het hoeft toch niet beslist een atoombom te zijn? Een paar goed geplaatste superbommen kunnen wellicht het boorgat in elkaar drukken en/of zoveel zand verplaatsen dat het boorgat afgesloten wordt. En er komt geen radioactief materiaal vrij. Kom op Oilbama, laat zien dat je niet onder doet voor de Bushmen: Shock and Awe that oil well into submission!
Nuking the oilspill is becoming a serious option!
Oilman Matt Simmons - chairman of Simmons & Company International, a prominent oil-industry insider - said the US government should immediately take the effort to plug the leak out of the hands of BP and put the military in charge.
“Probably the only thing we can do is create a weapons system and send it down 18,000 feet and detonate it, hopefully encasing the oil,” he said.
His idea echoes that of a Russian newspaper that earlier this month suggested the US detonate a small nuclear bomb to seal the oil beneath the sea. Komsomoloskaya Pravda argued in an editorial that Russia had successfully used nuclear weapons to seal oil spills on five occasions in the past.
The video is a pretty decent overview of how the Russians have tackled blown wells with nuclear devices, but it doesn’t really look at the ecological price attached to detonating a nuclear device in an ecologically sensitive area, or how to contain the toxic waste generated by such an explosion.
David Neiwert wrote about this awhile ago, and some of the comments really sent chills down my spine. continue reading»

Great idea let’s listen to an investement banker.
Let’s not only pollute the US Gulf coast with oil, let’s add radioactive material to it!

Trusting the military not to poison the population is not a gamble I want to take.

To those of us who haven’t been around that long, just google: agent orange, depleted uranium, white phosphorus, cipro overdoses….

Do they already know the Dutch method of the blunt ax?

A nuclear explosion underground doesn’t put any radioactive material into the atmosphere.

Could there be a tsunami?

Not if its far enough underground.

They did it at least five times and were succesful four times.
