How would you stop the oil leak?

I protest your implied libel of my honorable enemy. The King of Atlantis (may his beard grow ever inward!) knows his limits; he would have called the Kryptonian (damn his eyes!) first. Orin restricts himself to ass-kicking.

I say it’s time to stop fighting the oil and start using it to our advantage. Combine the oil with the global warming heated water to make the world’s largest fish fry! It’ll end hunger in Africa!

I’m not far from this. Pump oxygen down to misx with the gushing oil, and then flick a giant Bic. Burn it as it comes out.

Or

Declare the Gulf of Mexico to be “America’s Oil Well”, and develop the technology to pump all the water out of the gulf. Then we can just scoop up the oil with giant ladles to send to refineries.
