1. Just one question: WHY? nt

2. They should do it as a geoglyph instead.

It would be easier and cheaper. But, I guess not enough would see it from the air, unless it was during the Rapture

3. First big hurricane will fix it.

4. A good dose of Texas termites should solve this...Or maybe a convenient Earth-quake?

5. If they get an earthquake, then we're all in trouble.

The Gulf coast does not get earthquakes (wrong geology.)

6. If they can get them in OK they can happen in TX, got more than enough old fracked wells.

And yes it would probably split open the Gulf floor. High Tide line would be just outside El Campo.

7. The geology is more favorable in OK.

Here the bedrock is much deeper and just not right for (naturally-occurring) earthquakes.

Again, if Corpus got such an earthquake, then we'd all be in big trouble.

8. I doubt they could ever put out the well fires, never mind plug the leaks.

And up here in Giddings we'd watch in horror and amazement.
