If anyone ever bothered to actually do any research, they would find out the geology around the oil gusher is actually a giant "salt dome" and if someone set off a nuclear device, it would fracture and create a million cracks for oil to "seep" through.
This is why Republicans:
One. Should never be given nuclear weapons to "play with".
and
Two. Should go to school. Preferably, one of those "liberal" schools that teach "science and geology".
Of course, they will find out the earth is much older than 6,000 years.
Oh, and by the way, it looks like they may have found a "crack". Very unfortunate.
This isn't "just another election." Nor is the next one.
October is actually MUCH more important than November. If you don't know why, its too late to matter.
Ok I'll bite why is October more important ten November? I may know the answer but I am not sure as to what direction you are taking it.
Not to be cryptic, but if you don't already know, then it really doesn't matter.
And I don't want to start another board meltdown
Man you sure do have it bad and blindly without cause for the republicans. Tell me and not wishing to change the direction of this thread, but who was the first group to use a nuclear weapon on another human?
Republicans
or
Democrats?
PM if you think it nwill start a board melt down. Maybe I am missing something.Not to be cryptic, but if you don't already know, then it really doesn't matter.

Does it have something to do with the October surprise?
Not sure what that is, but not sure its a single incident either.

More appropriately, who was the only group?
Why don't you take your negative energy and cram it up your ass?For the last month or so obama or someone from the whitehouse has condemed and negatively spoken of all the ill's that comes with drilling for oil. Now the flow has stopped where's obama?
Obama's team wants to turn off the cap. Something about siphoning oil from the well head. Story is on Yahoo right now.

Only an idiot, in my opinion, would think blowing up the well is a good idea.I'm already there. Blow it!
Nuke the oil spill? - The WeekHow would a nuclear explosion stop the oil from gushing?
The bomb would be detonated deep underground, in a separate well beneath the sea floor. In theory, the extreme heat generated by the explosion would collapse the well bore, melting surrounding rock into a "glassy plug" that would seal the shaft "much like a huge stopper in a leaky bottle." Nuclear expert Christopher Brownfield tells The Takeaway: "When you're looking at this geological formation with a 15,000 foot narrow 'straw' going through it, it doesn't really take that much to break that 'straw' and seal it off."
Has the technique been tried before?
Yes. The Soviet Union capped four gas wells using nuclear bombs in 1966, 1968 and twice in 1972. Another attempt in 1981 was unsuccessful, likely due to "poor geological data."
So why don't we try it?
There are a few reasons to be cautious. Firstly, the Soviet Union's well explosions were all conducted inland. Creating an underwater explosion to seal off the well would be highly experimental technology, and would not be guaranteed to work. Secondly, the fall-out from a nuclear explosion could create fresh environmental hazards. And thirdly, detonating a nuclear bomb would potentially undermine international anti-nuclear treaties by establishing a new and legitimate "peaceful" use for nukes.
What kind of "fresh environmental hazards" could a nuclear explosion create?
Although the explosion would happen deep underground, radioactive gases could still seep into the Gulf. That said, "it seems a reasonable conjecture that the dissipation of a limited amount of radioactive material across the vast Gulf is preferable to the blanketing of thousands of miles of American coastline in ribbons of tar," says Daniel Foster in the National Review. But the worst case scenario, says Andrew Leonard at Salon, would be a "chain reaction" leading to a massive release of frozen natural gas in the seabed potentially wiping out most of the life on planet Earth.
Is the U.S. considering the nuclear option?
A five-man team of nuclear physicists has reportedly been dispatched to the Gulf to look at "outside-the-box" solutions to the spill, but the White House says using a nuclear bomb to stem the flow was not even a possibility. "It's crazy," one senior official told The New York Times.
Could we use a conventional bomb?
Experts warn that the well and its surrounding geology are fragile and a less powerful explosion might open up fissures and make the leak essentially unstoppable. Because of the risks, using any kind of explosive device should be an option of last resort.

Look you insane BITCH, provide any evidence that STATING SIMPLE facts is negative. Ohh wait, I forgot you can not, you lack any brains.

RGS is not my mother-in-law.Looks to me like the 'negative energy' comments is a bait just to tick others off. Nothing in that comment was negative at all, just a link to a story.
If one wants to immerse themselves in negative energy, go to Washington D.C. We have more negative energy spewing from D.C than from your first mother-in-law.
Just sayin..........

No, tell him it is liquid Viagra.If this thing is seeping at another location, the safe thing to do is open it up and pipe the oil up to collection tanks. If not, we could end up chasing seeping oil all over the Gulf. I say open it up or give Rush a giant straw and tell him it is chocolate.
