We talked last week about the reports of Anatoly Sagalevitch’s comments concerning the multiple sea floor cracks and leaks of oil under the gulf. As I said in that blog if it’s true, the Russian solution of nuking the well, sealing it by detonation of a small nuclear device, may be the only solution. The Russians have done this five times since the late 70′s. It would be a hugely controversial political and economic decision and I fear even if it’s necessary the government will delay any decision of that magnitude for quite some time. Can you imagine how the right will crucify the democrats for a decision like that? Well below is a link to an article that seems to suggest Mr. Sagalevitch may have been right:
