You call us “foolishly overly complex”

Please google "nuke the BP well"

The scientific community AND the leaders are talking about parts of MY solution back in April on http://oilspillsolution.wor... - THIS IS THE TIME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE GOVERNMENT OR BP/DEEP HORIZON TEAM, I CAN HELP THEM MAKE IT HAPPEN.

What do you guys say, if you see my solutions they are HOLISTIC then just "nuking" the undersea well?

The individuals who have attacked the simplicity of constructing a sediment scab over the earth's skin through the construction of an artificial seabed , are couterintelligence agents who have infiltrated this site. This is an operation of genocide: bottom line. The cloak is an accident but make no mistake this is an attack on the American country and world wide covert depopulation over the next 2 years through planes' sprays people will associate with toxic clouds wake up!

THe US can not fold like this! They want it to fall they deliberately poured poison through broke black workers who were fooled into believeing the dispersant would help and all just in time to be whipped up into the clouds of a hurricane? This is genocide wake up. Do you need to see the hollywood movie in 10 years after it's all said and done and their version oops it was an accident?! Every ocean engineer, building a highway tunnel underwate over a river bed , a river bed! The artifical sediment scabbing works even with the current of a river. Artifical island, (Dubai) Montreal (Expo 67) that the continual dumping of sand , gravel on large woven canvas tarps, like a flat massive sand bag along with hay and consistently being bulldozed off the barges coming over the hole will eventually have an compact, after 3months, if the total of barges working with the UN was 1000. This is information that is undisputable as gravel and sand are what make sediment and the ocean's floor. As for the gentleman who sated this seems overly simplisitc , so does poking a hole in the earth's body. It must have a scab form, this is the only way. You're theories are human and in your mind . They do not work in the real scope of this disaster, which is simple. This disaster I know through the mounting info leaks, is shaping up to define itself as a gas attack on urban populations , therefore in the end, there will be planes spraying like a can of raid,what you think is oil and methane on the otherside of the cloudstorm. The spill, BP are a scapegoat theatre show for the real genocide opeartion . Don't believe me , lose time, not believing me and you will die. There will be a worldwide frequency scream of the masses to stop the oil coming soon on this blog will be the details to screw with the moral consciousness of these puppets you think are leaders. The UN is completely silent on this, and it oceanic division , mmmmmhhh......But they'll concern themselves world wide with a mystery bug. I guess that will also follow up again in the fall when they wish to stop the exodus to the wets. Quarantine. All set up you are children who can not see your parents are boiling the water for you to soak in. Why is BP open to public solutions: to have it look like there is no solution and reject all solutions never putting them in practice so that the leak seems unstoppable, therefore a fortm of mass deception and consent that everyone tried and failed that's how big it was. they will all be coming out of their holes when it's done, Corexit has a lifespan of 28 days to evaporation and being broken down, remember 28 days, they warned you...

The Macondo reservoir is three miles down. They are currently targeting the relief well to intersect with the blown-out one at nearly that depth, I believe. Even if a small yield nuke caused fissures, would it cause THREE MILES of fissures? Hardly. It would also seem that if placed properly it would COMPRESS rock as it displaced the well casing, etc., and any cavity would be located at some distance from the well. Criticisms? I'd say attack the well bore halfway down, midway between the ocean floor and the reservoir.

math,

Dumping rock and sediment on top of the leak seems overly simplistic given that the high pressure where the oil is escaping would immediately blow away any falling debris. Please consider that condescension merely inhibits the brainstorming process necessary to find a good solution.

You call us "foolishly overly complex", yet you have NO IDEA what the logistics of "1000 barges" entails.. What was discussed here was the simple, effective, nearly cost free, method of ending the crisis in the 'Gulf. This also getting done in less time than it'd take to get one contract agreed upon for one of your barges..

However, another option (following your lead), might have been to open the top of 'one' of your barges; flip it upside down; sink it to the leak, and use it as an inverted funnel (a world class funnel).. Several topside tankers could be tapped into the neo-topside of this barge/funnel and pump the oil out (without any oil escaping)..

Everyone on this blog is foolishly overly complex . There is one very obvious solution , 1000 barges immediately converging over leak points dumping massive amounts of quarry rock sand and sediment creating an artificial island like in Dubai, but immediately, an artificial sea bed. Yes oil will escape on the first few dumps and the rocks will miss their target due to waves but a constant dropping of large debris and sediment will effectively cap it but this means they lose the hole . Beavers do this with sticks against r4 river pressure rapids. You have all watched too many movies and are either part of the apocolypse manufacture, or unconsciously brainwashed by the following movies:

"Independence Day""Armageddon""The Core""Aliens"

the list goes on and on even movies of the week fighting Global warming the fact barges did not go into operation with quarries tells me this is all a cover to invade the US through disaster and control the world by her majesty through disaster. Here's the phrase of the future: "The accident is the new weapon , the disaster is the new invasion ". This is republic's enemies. Understand this.

So we can " destroy the world" 25X over but not seal up a 3 foot hole with nuclear weapons? I don't believe it....and yes I do have some background knowledge.....

Hi anon: Very nice statement overall, but forgive me, as I'm old and I'm dense.... Like Denny Crane I've got mad-cow-disease.... What does the phrase " two legs nuclear " refer to..

Orwell wrote that physical threats define the practical limits of any system of thought. Two legs nuclear... is fine when there isn't the threat of the largest oil disaster in human history facing you, but when it is, it's just retarded to keep chanting anti nuclear slogans.

At that depth, tacticals would be hard pressed to punch 200 feet, but it would displace the shaft and close it. Again its just not politically palatable..

Thats not what will happen.

The yield of the weapon and its displacement are low. It is also not thermonuclear. Battlefield nukes are old school. Also the cover of being the correct geostructure is just that, a cover. The structure is optimal for a kiloton class blast. It is not politically optimal to blow it. But they will have few choices soon as what they are attempting is not going to work. The damage from this leak is a magnitude greater then a single blast would have been weeks ago.

And the reservoir is over 3 miles beneath the surface of the earth. I agree that the wellbore and casing condition is not going to be the problem.

A couple of nuclear devices were detonated in Colorado wells for tests related to their stimulation properties. They formed massive, basically glass bubbles around the explosion area. The tests were named Plowshare.
