This article is about how a new idea for sealing the leaking oil pipe would be to use a nuclear explosion to seal the hole. The intense heat would, in theory, would melt the hole shut creating a cap like plug. The idea is gaining a lot of support, but the federal government is totally against it. not only would it go against obama's ideas of reducing nuclear armaments, but it would also ruin the pacts made between the US and Russia to try to stop using nuclear weapons even in peaceful ways. I think the government is right. I think the only reason that the idea is gaining support is because people are becoming really impatient with so many failed attempts by BP. People aren't thinking about the consequences that could come with detonating a nuclear weapon. For one it might not even work because it hasn't really been tested underwater or on an oil leak, and also who knows what the radiation could do. It just seems way too dangerous, irrational, and desperate to use such a method.
