Oil Leakage Stopper Strategy

Oh GREAT we are saved. We can modify some big boats in about two months and suck all the oil up.

Let's get started.

moronicbumble! Is that you?!

I think you have the first half of the name right.

No. Moronic Bumble can spell, for one thing, and is often considerably wittier.

To add to my earlier reply, this is "magwer" rather than "MoronicBumble."

You'd probably need some of these too;

3.4 Post Cold War

In the 1990s, the Malachite design bureau proposed plans for submarines capable of transporting petroleum or freight containers in or through Arctic regions. It was envisaged that these ships would dive under the polar ice cap to travel directly between European and Asian ports, and possibly northern Canada, with the designers noting that:

"Given equal cargo capacity, the efficiency of an underwater container ship is considerably higher, for example, than that of an icebreaker transport ship of the Norilsk type. The underwater tanker is competitive."

The tanker and container variants would follow the same design as standard military nuclear submarines, with the tanker variant carrying almost 30,000 tons of petroleum, to be loaded and discharged from surface or underwater terminals. The container carrier was to transport 912 standard (20-foot) freight containers, loaded within 30 hours through hatches, assisted by internal conveyance systems. However, these plans came to nothing in the hard financial straits following the Soviet Union's dissolution later in the 1990s.

A similar design has been proposed by the Rubin Design Bureau with the 'Submarine Cargo Vessel', a civilian redesign of the famous Typhoon class submarine of the Cold War.

Overview

Similar to the post-Cold War ideas of the Soviet Union, there have been some concept plans to use atomic-powered submarine oil tankers to exploit Arctic oilfields in Alaska and Siberia. General Dynamics had apparently approached German shipbuilders during the early 1980s about the possible construction of either a US$725 million nuclear-powered or a US$700 million methane-powered version of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) submarine tanker to carry LNG from the Arctic to North America and Europe.

PS

Imagine if we go against our message America will sue us.

It's even better than that:

I sent BP a design to build a cage around the spill and surround it with Kevlar and build the cage up to a level where they could plant that containment thing they built on top, the one that iced up when thye tried to use it .

Remember BP wanted to cap this well and not produce from it till oil prices were over $80.00 a barrel to recoup their investment of drilling the well .

A post on the bittooth.blogspot - - Fine. Explosives have worked in some other situations. The critical difference in the Deepwater site has huge clathrate formations that likely contributed to the incident in the first place. If you advocate explosions, then you must also demonstrate the explosions will not destabilize the hydrates, or if so, that any consequences are manageable. Why the hydrates seem to be such a small detail to so many is really puzzling to those who are looking carefully at the situation. Unfortunately for the peanut gallery, nobody has ever been able to deal with hydrates yet- and not for lack of trying under even the best of circumstances.
