The facts are simple: A nuclear bomb is the only proven RAPID solution for runaway underwater oil wells as shown here
Since we know a nuke can be used to instantly stop a runaway well that leads one to wonder why not try it? The 20-30 miles surrounding the Deepwater Horizon site is already a DEAD ZONE so why not give it a try?
So many people hear the word 'nuke' and automatically cringe in fear at the mere thought of using one to stop the BP oil spill. Perhaps this fear is related to the brainwashing via the old 'duck and cover' videos,etc? Sure everyone knows radiation is bad but doctors use radiation all the time to successfully treat cancer patients. It's the simple concept of choosing the 'lesser of two evils'. Those who oppose the 'nuclear option' are essentially taking BP's word that they 'must wait for the relief wells' to be completed i.e. let's wait until the entire Gulf of Mexico is dead because BP says we have to!. This backasswards logic is quite maddening. So what could be the motives? Are the uber liberals basically wanting the Gulf to die to then use that as motivation to ban all offshore drilling???? Those 'red staters' deserve what they are getting anyway, right? Of course, the wildlife know nothing of politics so are the dolphins and sear turtles 'red' too?? And what if the drilling of the relief wells gets delayed repeatedly over this summer due to numerous hurricanes/tropical storms??? What if 6 months from now the BP oil is still flowing? All those who oppose the use of a nuke just assume that the 'relief wells' will fix everything but that led me to wonder:
