11. It may have the opposite of the intended effect.

Edited on Sat May-29-10 07:16 PM by Urban Prairie

No one knows what might happen, if too much or too little of a nuke explosion would do to the surrounding sub-strata. It could fracture and send huge chunks of rock surrounding the crude oil and gas sky(water)ward. Then the entire crude and gas deposit could either escape completely in a much shorter time, or maybe ignite and explode as well.

Not only that, the Russians did not detonate their nuke(s) underneath a mile of ocean water, either.
