I think posting videos with advertisements of websites liek that is pretty counterproductive to your cause. Also, Simmons proposed his idea already at the time of top-kill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDGAoU1H2gM. (also a bit later http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKLaBOeHqdY&feature=related)
How are we to make sense of the incessant flow of contradictory information which is being ejected into cyberspace at high pressure from Blogs (Oil Drum, etc.) and other sources? We KNOW that our criminal Federal government LIES about everything as they wish - witness 911, the GRAND DEPRESSION (now in progress), "war" (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) casualties, suicides in the Armed Forces, the "War of Terror", etc.! Don't expect truth to emerge from our Federal government when they will be put at risk of EXPOSURE. Above all, they want to avoid PANIC. Well, this is the year of PANIC, like it or not.
Trust your eyes and ears and intuition - like Luke Skywalker when fighting the forces of Darkness. 911, moreso than the GOM gushing "monster" well, unleashed the forces of Darkness on America and on humanity.
The wise course of action now, is to observe the various GOM scenarios unfold from a SAFE DISTANCE! The farther away from the Gulf you get, the safer you will be. There are no guarantees that you will not be stepping into some other disaster, of course. It pays to be circumspect.
I think Simmons is a questionable authority on this whole issue. If you dig around there is some question about his stock options and trading and possible agendas in that regard. Not to say it isnt possible, just to say he may not be the best source. Lets see if anyone else is proposing this... Of course there could be other leaks, gushers. Look at how many wells there are... so two courses of action for activists and people who love the earth. One lets get something productive being done in the gulf now... as in bioremediation and tankers.. pressure/protest until we get it. Have local communities do an end run around the fed and bp and do their own clean ups.... then long hauln lets get oil drilling out of the water and get our govt back from the corporations. See Moveon.org Their agenda for 2010 is pretty good in this regard . We have to take back control of our lives and of what happens to the earth. Corporations have become sociopathic. They just dont care and govt. is bought. so there you have it.
Marta are you serious? What does he have to gain here?

There may well be a bigger leak and if the small one is contained then we may be able to see that there is a bigger one... I am not down at all with nuking anything. There have been so many other proposals for how to contain and control. That just seems to carry so much risk. Here is the article on Simmons stock and in the final analaysis it probably is not relevant. http://blogs.chron.com/newswatchenergy/archives/2010/06/matt_simmons_st_1.html What I am concerned about with him is the push to use nukes. He is really adamant about it.
With any kind of BP luck, the nuke blast will ignite the huge oil reservoir and blow out of the well and burn forever like Hell's Gate in Siberia. Humanity will be glad when the morons at CERN fire up the LHC and launch a Black Hole which will finally end humanity's misery in 7 minutes flat. Who needs Armageddon in the Middle East, ignited by Zionist Israel - the people who brought us 911!?
Former Shell CEO John Hoffmeister is interviewed on MSNBC, July 14, 2010.
He says that there are many in the oil industry who believe that the casing of the busted BP oil well “must have been damaged because of the power of that well, the pressure of that reservoir.” That is why BP should and is delaying stress tests of the new oil cap until relief wells can be drilled. Doing the stress tests now would put so much pressure on the casing that the integrity of the steel is insufficient to hold the pressure of the well:
“If you lose the casing and oil starts coming up on the outside of the casing you can’t stop it. And if you lose the casing it’s game over. It’s like having a volcano on the bottom of the sea. There’s nothing you can do that would stop it…other than implode the well.”
This scenario makes a good case for leaving the Gulf area - sooner, rather than later!
PS Lower than expected pressure means that the well casing has very likely been damaged - and that oil/gas is leaking into various strata surrounding the well. That leaking oil/gas will gradually lift the seafloor and either leak into the water - or BLOW! (volcanic eruption). In either case, the effect on the entire Gulf area will be (more) devastating.
If BP and the Federal government KNOW (like Shell ex-CEO Hoffmeister, engineer Price and other "experts") that the well casing has been compromised and oil/gas is leaking into the surrounding strata, why would they keep the well capped to generate a MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM down the road? Do they WANT an oil volcano eruption??? - or are they just STUPID?
A strong case has been made (by a geologist) that there is "weakened formation structure" beneath the well (and then some) and that the casing has been compromised (way back when the well first blew).

It appears that our criminal Federal government is feeding us another generous helping of LIES, similar to the 911 LIES!
It's only a matter of time before the entire structure of government LIES will blow up in our collective faces - along with the Gulf oil volcano.
Anyone who is still in the Gulf area by then will have a ringside seat at their own funeral!
