THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOLUTION TO THE OIL CRISIS!!!

Finally, after Bill Clinton mentioned using a nuclear device to seal the well, it is being discussed; although by no means an original idea. It was being discussed at the beginning of June and was even posted on this blog on June 3rd. It is being re-posted today for your convenience. Think of how many millions of gallons of oil would still be safely under the sea floor if the Obama Administration had seriously and honestly shouldered its responsibility to end this overwhelming disaster! We should all be puzzled at how tenderly this disingenuous government is being treated; especially by the national media.

June 3, 2010:

Is anyone else sick and tired of officious, intermeddling, pundits knowingly declaring that we were far better off letting BP handle the deep-sea oil gusher because BP has more experience than the federal government? Many of these same experts also declared that a disaster of this proportion has never before occurred. These statements are false and misleading.

While it is true that BP has more technical, spill-specific, knowledge (like how to operate deep-sea robots: although they're not too good at that), it is well-within the power of the Government to aid and regulate how BP conducts the cleanup operation and deals with residents of the Gulf. The Obama Administration should have immediately taken charge of the coastline cleanup (particularly beaches, wetlands, and river deltas) together with rescuing and relocating contaminated wildlife. The Administration could also have: overseen whom BP employed (insuring employment opportunities were first offered to local residents); and, monitored payment of restitution to people financially damaged by the disaster.

In reality, there is very little the federal government could NOT have done or overseen from the very beginning of this catastrophe. Considering President Obama’s infamous intelligence, it becomes a huge stretch to believe that he simply overlooked his Administration's obligations to Gulf Coast residents for over Six weeks. It does not make any sense unless done intentionally. The only alternative is that the Obama Administration is negligent or, worse, inept. In fact, with everyone so focused on BP, no one will ask (and the Administration will never answer) these troubling questions. The bottom line is that the Obama "team" was grossly negligent.

Allegations that a tragedy of this nature has “never occurred before” are also false. While the facts are not identical (when are they?), reports state that the disbanded Soviet Union successfully sealed deep-sea wells, ending spills similar to the Horizon disaster, by setting-off small nuclear devices. While it sounds alarming, Soviet reports specify that the strategy was utilized safely and successfully six times. Moreover, the Russians offered to teach the procedure to engineers in the United States. Each nuclear device would cost approximately Five-Hundred Thousand ($500,000) Dollars - significantly less than already expended in the Gulf and a proverbial “drop-in-the-bucket” with respect to anticipated costs and expenditures in the billions, probably trillions. Financial costs are insignificant in comparison to the human suffering and environmental damage the disaster will reap.

American’s tend to bristle whenever the term “nuclear device” is mentioned, but considering all the damage already done, as well as imminent impending damages, the risk and expense pale by comparison. The media should have been screaming this solution from the rooftops instead of declaring that a deep-sea gusher is unique and has no known solutions.

This clearly specifies how the utilization of governmental resources and wherewithal might have ended the disaster long ago. At least it should have undergone serious consideration and open debate. Even if never attempted, the open forum could spark other ideas about how to resolve the situation. At the absolute bare minimum, it raises substantive doubts concerning the Obama Administration’s contention that: “there was nothing we could do.” Furthermore, it lends significant credence to speculation that the Obama Administration’s grossly inept performance was a thinly veiled ploy to promote its radical, left wing, political agenda.
