| P_Stephens | I thought the “nuclear bomb” solution to the Gulf oil leak was crazy until I heard it explained | I was listening to a radio talk show and a guy called in and said they should use a nuclear bomb to stop the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. I thought he was crazy and so did the host. A couple weeks ago I was at a wedding reception and mentioned it to the guy I was sitting next to. He knew about the idea and told me that they would drill down alongside the well casing and insert the device underground in that hole. The idea was to melt the surrounding rock with a low-yield, slow-burn device, which would then seal the leak as the rock solidified. Maybe it’s still a crazy idea but it also makes a little sense for a desperate situation. |
