They should blow it up. Buuuuuuut, if they stop the leak with a nuke, the oil is cutoff completely, which makes BP very mad (and the gubment because of the tax dollars). Hence, they need a solution that stops the leak, while still being able to get teh oil.
yeah ims ure they didnt spend time denying there was even a leak, and then denying the true size of it and refusing to allocate resources and still continue to deny the underwater plumes and do nothing about it
