Oil is a viscous fluid.

Cold oil would be more viscous.

Frozen oil would be many times more viscous and so plug the
pipe.

Would it work?

I've no idea.

So in the vein Mr. Drum introduced exactly what is YOUR bright idea that might 
stop the oil that threatens the life and livelyhood of so many individuals?


I should further point out that I said cryogenic gas such as liquid nitrogen OR

liquid helium.

So what that part of the blowout is methane a gas?

Methane at that depth and temperature turns into a solid as in 
the methane hydrate DID in the attempt to cap the well with the dome.


I opposed your idea the war in Iraq was a good idea and I was RIGHT.

I said there were no WMD and I was RIGHT.

From this you've developed a pathological hatred of me.

Because I was RIGHT. 


I make no claim at all that I'm right in this case.

It's merely an idea.

So what IS your brilliant solution to this nightmare?
