      Well it would be Dubai and the Saudis that would be irradiated. They should be fine with it right?

        the gas would likely be irradiated too. I heard of an early proposal to detonate nukes deep underground in the tar sands to bring the oil to the top, theoretically it would work but radioactive oil.

      Less than that. They’d have to sell this particular gas at a discount, considering it would be radioactive after making this detour.

        You’re forgetting the power of marketing. Call it “Atomic Premium”, claim it’s formulated specifically for giant trucks with fake balls attached to the hitch, get a few hick-hop artists to name drop it in songs about cruising down red dirt roads, and run a meme campaign implying only woke blue-haired lib trannies with nose rings oppose irradiated gas. They’d drink it if they thought doing so would “own the libs”.

    It’s not. This has been proposed multiple times throughout history. The U.S. program, named Project Plowshare, was active from the late 1950s to the 1970s and explored various peaceful applications for nuclear explosives. It was built on ideas from older, British and German plans. The Russians also had their own plans. This is not a new idea.

        Unfortunately, it would still be in close proximity to Iran and well within attack distance, so it would be completely pointless.

    • dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I was gonna say. This idea has been floating around for decades.

      Bottom line: Yes it will work. It will also involve transporting nuclear warheads to another country, which probably violates all kinds of treaties and will set governments everywhere into a panic of epic proportions. The knock-on effects of nuclear contamination will be a problem for the local population, local water table, and local ocean currents. You can bet your bottom-dollar that these, and possibly more, problems will be shouldered by the soon-to-be-god-forsaken masses of whatever country eventually okays this idea.

      Absolutely has to be lead poisoning. We need to get these insane fuckers tested for it and have them committed if it shows in their system. That may be exactly what is needed and how to “peacefully” get these weird fuckers to retire.

    I’ve stopped asking if people are this stupid, because yes, they are.

    But, I think this is more about sowing fear, than a serious suggestion.

    I keep trying to persuade myself, in spite of clear evidence to the contrary, that people are not this stupid. But, it doesn’t work.

      Oh man… I hate to blow your bubble, but that guy is just repeating something that was under serious consideration about 50 years ago.

    There is a price between $10m/kg and $100m/kg that Iranians sell enriched uranium to US to satisfy US denuclearization aims, and Iran gets its reparations/reconstruction concession, and full trade access to the world. Of course Bibi will keep saying they are 2 weeks away from a weapon, but you have to fuck bibi.

    Now, I know what the woke deep state is going to say, and I want to save you the trouble of listening to them.

    “The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty?” Never ratified it. Even if we did, who cares. Next.

    “The environmental impact?” Mr. Secretary, Iranian oil is leaking everywhere. Tankers are on fire near Fujairah. This approach is constructive destruction.

    “Radiation?” Radiation is the most overblown left-wing conspiracy since climate change. The Plowshare’s 1962 underground Sedan test fallout reached South Dakota in 1962 and South Dakota is fine. Went for Trump by thirty points. Plus, the residual glow keeps Iran from trying anything funny near the new channel.

    The views expressed above do not necessarily represent those of anyone with brain cells.

    This is hilarious. Heh.

    I don’t buy Gingrich’s earnesty. He must be trolling too. Most Republicans are doing it on Twitter now, so it fits the pattern.
