• U.S. Says No, but Nuclear Option for Spill Gains Support

  The question which remains, and has thus far gone utterly unanswered by both BP and the Federal Government is why there was no "what if" scenario which anticipated the complete failure of a blowout preventer? And now we're talking nukes? Has the world spun off its axis? Is it just me, or are we facing Armegeddon of a sort? I keep asking this; "what if" the relief wells don't work........? No one seems to have an answer.

• There was. It was expensive. We are seeing it now.
  
• The whole point of the relief wells is to get high pressure mud to the bottom of the blown out well. Removing the mud from the first well caused the blow out. Attempting to replace it was the top kill effort. A nuclear bomb would make the hole that is the well very large. That is not the effect anyone wants. It would add radioactive debris to the oil that would be pouring out.
  
• Let us not double down on disaster.

Nuclear Option on Gulf Oil Spill? No Way, U.S. Says

The idea of sealing the oil well in the Gulf of Mexico with a nuclear blast is among the wildest of ideas proposed by scientists and other creative types who have deluged agencies and BP with calls and e-mails.

  Reckoning in the Gulf

  The people and resources affected in Louisiana have just built/ been rebuilt after almost five years of struggle post Katrina Rita- then were slammed by Cat 5's every year since. You didn't hear about it because no TV big shot's favorite New Orleans barroom went under water for two weeks... Now we face a truly awful scenario. Fishing ruined, whole industries wiped out, a Dust Bowl scenario for people whose towns were literally wiped off the face of the earth 4 1/2 years ago. To rebuild and then have some greedy corporation poison you out of your homes and livelihood? It's just gruesome! Hurricane season just started, and we face normally nothing storm surges now loaded with dirty, nasty crude oil. BP doesn't have enough money to compensate for the havoc and destruction they've wreaked! But I'm sure the folks on the coast will gladly take every last dime- from Halliburton too. Now lets see a lot of Big Shots go to the Penitentiary for Crimes against Mother Earth and Humanity. And don't forget Louisiana Senator David Vitter- the lackeys should go too.

• I think this is where I came in. I am glad to see it.
