More red glowing radioactive oil spoilage transported in all directions by the triggered tsunami.

In my opinion the atom bomb thing should be prepared and get used as last solution. At a certain point there should be an evaluation if it's better to use an atom bomb to seal things (which has had high rates of success in Russia) giving you radiation problems (while I don't know if a H-Bomb uses less plutonium than e.g. the Little Boy had) rather than having "endless" amounts of oil flowing into the ocean...

Actually a good time for that may already have passed - I at least see no way this thing gets sealed anytime soon and the effects we have seen yet are just the beginning of even worse scenarios to come...

The entire situation is pretty bad though. They probably shouldn't have drilled there if they have so little options to encounter the possible problems...

In my mind with a bit of bad luck an atomic bomb would create an even bigger hole.

there is no need for a nuclear bomb. some "experts" say that a daisy cutter or moab would do the job too but some other "experts" say that it is way too risky since it could open an even bigger leak.

not really. the problem isn't the production itself but the radioactive waste. our descendants will curse us.

Just a few months ago some people announced they invented a "portable" reactor that uses exactly that waste to produce energy and leaves almost nothing behind. So that not an excuse anymore.

Also, what you rather have, depleting natural resources or having radioactive waste? You can still shoot that towards the sun, and gone it is. You can't gain natural resources from the sun.

uhm... uranium is a depleting natural ressource too. the estimates are that there only are about 150 years left before we are running out of it. so nuclear power has no future anyway. except maybe nuclear fusion but it doesn't look too good in this regard either. iter probably can't be funded.

shooting the waste towards the sun? great idea. why not spray the stuff into the atmosphere when the rocket has some failure? rockets aren't really reliable enough for something like that...

Hehe okay, the medium may be a problem. Not sure about uranium, can't verify your estimates.

wont it cause an earthquake or even a tsunami?

I guess a bomb would vaporize most of the water rather than push it so it's not going to initiate any serious wave...
