AIR freezes liquid under exposure liquid helium.

The REALITY that spurred the idea of using liquid nitrogen or liquid 
helium to freeze the oil was from the well itself in that the methane became 
a solid hydride at the temperature and depth of the well as PROVEN 
from the attempt to cap the well by the use of a dome. 


It DID plug the dome.

Any idea as to why this would NOT plug the pipe allowing for
the cementing to seal it off?

So what is YOUR solution?

You were critical of my claim there wre no WMD in Iraq and you were WRONG.

You were critical of my opposition to Dick Cheney's secret energy meetings
and this is but the lessor of the results.

You are in the final analysis YOU and in the end I guess
that is more than enough revenge for me.

What goes around comes around.

You've got a LOT coming to you.
