Current engineering technology cannot contain gas that is pressurized to 100,000 psi
Gulf oil full of methane
Methane Levels 100,000 times higher than normal.
Methane Gas Bubble Triggered Blast
After Knowing the above lets try this
What kind of "fresh environmental hazards" could a nuclear explosion create? the worst case scenario, says Andrew Leonard at Salon, would be a "chain reaction" leading to a massive release of frozen natural gas in the seabed — potentially wiping out most of the life on planet Earth.

Gulf oil to keep flowing while cap is analyzed
A series of methodical, preliminary steps were completed before progress stalled. Engineers spent hours on a seismic survey, creating a map of the rock under the sea floor to spot potential dangers, like gas pockets. It also provides a baseline to compare with later surveys during and after the test to see if the pressure on the well is causing underground problems.
An unstable area around the wellbore could create bigger problems if the leak continued elsewhere in the well after the cap valves were shut, experts said.

Congress could have forced them to stop this thing, but then they wouldn't be able to pull any more oil from it
