How can we use Nuclear Energy to stop the oil leak?

lol........they were too busy trying to stuff it with "old tires and GOLF BALLS" lol....it is beging to look like a cartoon not reality....

Yeah sounds good... except for the even more catastrophic damage to the ecosystem that detonating nuclear weapons would do... would likely cause global damage

yup chop of the nose to spite the face

We can't use that method because the hole is so deep the nuke would implode before getting there.

We can't. It would violate the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty and would allow other countries to interpret this as they please and begin testing their own nuclear weapons.
