Apparently BP is contemplatimg using a nuclear device as a last ditch effort to end the deep water horizon eco-debacle.

Ponder the implications dear reader!
The giant oil company is now quietly preparing to test a small nuclear device in a frenzied rush against time to quell a cascading catastrophe. If successful they will have the capability to detonate a controlled fusion generated pulse.
While the world watches BP's attempt to contain the oil gusher at the former Deepwater Horizon site, company officials have given the green light on an astounding plan to use what is known as a nuclear EPFCG charge if all else fails....
At a super-secret security base-CFB Suffield-located in southern Alberta, Canada, area reports indicate that high level engineers, physicists and military scientists are feverishly working to complete an ‘explosively pumped flux compression generator’ (EPFCG).
According to published scientific papers [see sources below] an EPFCG generator can be powered by a very small, controlled fusion explosion-in other words, a tiny nuclear bomb....
The EPFCG—a Star Wars super weapon
A device that can only be used once, the EPFCG generates a high power electromagnetic pulse. It achieves this by using a powerful explosive, preferably nuclear. Advanced, nuclear driven EPFCGs can instantaneously create up to billions of amperes and hundreds of terawatts. Such raw power exceeds lighting bolts by huge orders of magnitude.
The pulse can be shaped and directed and used to knock out electronics-or more importantly in this case—to fuse virtually any material—including crumbling rock strata deep under the sea. The fantastically energized pulse can also compress objects to very high pressures and densities. [3]
According to engineers familiar with the technology, the devices can generate plasma arcs hotter than the surface of the sun that will melt and fuse materials in nanoseconds.
Since when did corporations have access to nuclear weapons?

Wake up people!!! This whole senario is NOT being run by BP, and neither do they have the button of a nuke in their grubby hands.... This whole mess is being overseen by the US government... BP are merely fronting it.

It sounds very super-secret being posted on a website.
Well I am huge on anti fearmongoring,. however,.this really has been suggested.

if you honestly think that A) there is a big crack in the ocean floor, and B) mexico and us governments would be hunkey dorey with bp detonating a nuclear device in the gulf, then keep beleiving what the extremist conspiracy peoples tell you...
this one is a no brainer, common sense is all you need. sensationalists and fear mongors will try to sell anything to get a few web hits.
