well, no, i don't see your point in clinging to detonating a nuclear weapon in the gulf of mexico. regardless of whether or not you realize that it's never been done and therefor would be one huge science experiment, i feel that this sort of thinking actually misses the salient points, which are-
how do we make sure this never happens again and how do we move forward on correcting the fiasco down there. fact is, there are 2 relief wells being drilled and when one of them gets there is when the oil will stop, there's simply no other way. did bp mislead everyone about stopping the gusher, yes. trying this, that and the other was all posturing, we all get that. but the important points are self-regulation of the oil industry does not work and there are no contigency plans in place to handle a situation like this.
not to mention that our government is in bed with big business.
those are what we all need to be focused on.
