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.
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”.
“Yes, we’re irradiated now, but gas is under $3/gal.”
Well it would be Dubai and the Saudis that would be irradiated. They should be fine with it right?

Not irradiated! It’s been treated with Shell Atomic Boost!
Just look for the glowing pump.
This is the talent McDonald’s marketing needs.
The Americans actually tried that with some gas reserves, and as expected nuclear fracking increased yields, but radioactive gas.
So they’re the only country who has nukes themselves for economic reasons…
Unless you count sealing gas field blowouts, which was apparently done five times and one time for methane blowout, and lots of other test explosions like geological exploration.
Are those economic reasons? Or disaster management?
Does this sound like disaster management?
Sorry I should’ve read the second link too, my bad…
You mean my cars get free nuke juice? Why aren’t we doing this again?
That would guarantee a bright future for Dubai
fuck them saudis and their sportswashing
The
geiger counterDow will be over 50,000!Less than that. They’d have to sell this particular gas at a discount, considering it would be radioactive after making this detour.

The transported good would not be radioactive after the journey, though I can’t say the same for the vessel
Nah, both carbon and hydrogen can absorb neutrons just fine,
Well, not Americans, but brown people halfway across the world would be. But they’re not people to Americans so who cares.
How bad would the radiation actually be?
How bad can it possibly be? It’s only being held apart by a screwdriver
