His face wracked by age and his voice rasping after decades of chain-smoking coarse tobacco, the former long-time Russian Minister of nuclear energy and veteran Soviet physicist Viktor Mikhailov knows just how to fix BP’s oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. “A nuclear explosion over the leak,” he says nonchalantly puffing a cigarette as he sits in a conference room at the Institute of Strategic Stability, where he is a director. “I don’t know what BP is waiting for, they are wasting their time. Only about 10 kilotons of nuclear explosion capacity and the problem is solved.”
Great minds…
And if BP doesn’t want to nuke it or stuff their grandmas down it, then I suggest they stuff the execs of BP down it and then nuke it. Two birds with one stone, as it were…

Jim, at some point, the U.S. is going to have to break some treaties or this oil spill will be felt by the world. It will drift…
I hope that they don’t have to nuke it, but it might just be the only real option we have.
