Oil Leak Could Be Stopped With a Nuke
An anonymous reader writes "The oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico could be stopped with an underground nuclear blast, a Russian newspaper reports. Komsomoloskaya Pravda, the best-selling Russian daily, reports that in Soviet times such leaks were plugged with controlled nuclear blasts underground. The idea is simple, KP writes: 'The underground explosion moves the rock, presses on it, and, in essence, squeezes the well's channel.' It's so simple, in fact, that the Soviet Union used this method five times to deal with petrocalamities, and it only didn't work once."
That won't stop all the mod sheep from agreeing with his hip, edgy anti-corporate sentiment. Oh yeah dude, you really showed The Man how you won't be snowed by those evil money-grasping bastards who are almost wholly responsible for every aspect of the standard of living you'd sorely miss if it were ever deprived of you!
As always, people love to ride the wagon and spit at it too.

Hmmm...great entertainment value there. Probably worth giving it a try.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Yeah, that's a great idea. Just give up, and willingly march into the gas chambers when ordered.
Stupid liberal.
The only things that stood between Apollo 13 and three dead men were tireless effort, human ingenuity, and the will to survive. Apollo 13 was a 'successful failure'.

But in the mean-time I have a lot of hardwood to sell to humanity.
Oh, I think I've seen this movie before. But you were a gardener, and the housewife was so lonely...

Lying to people and ignoring this trend that has been going on for the past 100,000 years since the last ICE AGE - hmmm, nope.
And that's when you failed.
Learn.
Seriously.
If it were that simple, climatologists would be moving on to other problems. It's not. Get over yourself, you're really not as smart as you think.
(hint: short term variance != long term trend)
Hahaha oh wow, and yet it doesn't apply to climate change apparently.

I admit, I do very little to 'save the environment' other than not directly contaminating it by flat out littering.
With that said, I could not agree with you more. It never ceases to amaze me how the loudest idiots shouting about saving the environment know so little about the damage they themselves are causing.
My sister-in-law is 'an activist'. Not in the sense that she goes out and does anything about it, she just likes to talk about it like she has a clue. Regardless of how many times you point out evidence directly contradicting her retarded assumptions she'll keep on believing them because her political team is using it as a battle cry at the time.
There is very little point attempting to convince extremists they might be a little off, its best to just ignore them like most everyone else does, or embarrass them until they shut up.
