Both Ebbie, and Mouser: "And what will stop the oil from rising through the water, GfS?"

Sorry I seemed to have taken so long to respond, but I had to go to a reliable source, for info.

Great question! A musical, sound engineering question or psych question would be easier. Now the problem with dispersant is this; When you think of 'dispersants', you think it just breaks it apart, and sort of 'dissolves' the oil, and it merely washes away, but not in an oil form. But that is not the case. The dispersant that has been used, that is most effective, also breaks it down, but hugely into a gaseous material, which of course, goes into the atmosphere, and is HIGHLY toxic. Coupled with the other gasses coming up from the well, this is not able to be done safely. It's not just the sludge, that washes up on the beaches, with the dispersant in it that is toxic, which has been reported...though that PART, is also accurate.

As to your question, if the pressure, was as I posted before, 1500psi, this may have already been able to have been accomplished...MAYBE. But the pressures are far, FAR greater than being reported, as to not panic people. Frankly, those in the 'know' also know they are in DEEP shit!

As I've posted before, the nuke option, would only be a matter of guesswork, as to the size nuke, because of the reasons previously posted..PLUS..it would take weeks, if not months to slant drill, as to the placement of it...being as it would have to be placed below 'ground'.

I thought 'Q's' post was very informative, however, only as to lay where the fault lays, and why..to a point.

Man, if I could figure out a way, I'd do everything in my power to get it to them...but as you've seen, BP, (as reported), has done 9 attempts, with no success.(And I don't know all the methods, that they've tried).

Perhaps a series of powerful, but non nuke, could do it..but at this point, as far as I know, (or what I don't know), I don't think they'd want to run the risk of being unsuccessful, and weakening the ocean floor there, making it bigger. Man, let's brainstorm it. I've always thought that this forum had a lot more potential, than the degree of how we can insult each other!

Ebbie, and Mouser, Thanks for your thought provoking question! I Have thought about it, but now, because I was asked, I'm going to 'brainstorm' it!

Regards to All,

GfS
