Should we nuke the oil leak?

The Soviets did it a number of times to stop large oil leaks and Obama just assigned a team of nuclear physicists to look into how to stop the leak (including one of the developers of the H-Bomb)... Could we be close to using a nuclear device to shut off this massive leak? Do we have much to lose?

Modern nuclear weapons are very "clean" with little ionizing radiation being released (most of the energy comes from the secondary fusion reaction, not the initial fission reaction). The risk of radiation contamination would be very little, and not even comparable to the damage that the oil and natural gas leaking is already causing.

Anyone else think this would be a viable solution?

It could blow up in their face.

He said he was going to suspend IGK for his terrible humour.

It's worth looking into.

It also had to do with an oil spill... Not sure if that was intended or not on IGKs part though.

It was actually Ripley who said it, then Hudson responds with one of the greatest lines in cinema history.

Are you motherfucking joking? That's poisoning the waters even further.

Its Nou what do you expect? Considering the luck they are having, if they used one it probably make an even bigger hole and more oil would gush from it.

We should instead send all the politician and people who supported expanding off shore drilling down there and not let them leave until they stop the leak and clean up the mess.
