Deepwater Horizon

An interesting (and more than a little unnerving) contribution to the current debate on the Deepwater Horizon spillage at http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article19923.html from Dr Stephen A Rinehart - advocating the use of nuclear weapons to plug the hole, raising the prospect of the Gulf of Mexico rapidly degenerating into a carcinogenic benzene pool, and concluding that 'this is a “National Emergency” on the scale of a nuclear weapon attack'. The author's conclusion:

Bottom Line: We are looking at the worse environmental disaster in human
history and it continues to grow and the US Government has failed totally in
responding to this epic crisis because of BP and Big Oil political clout and
money.
