@isaackuo @cstross Which is kinda the problem; someone sensible won't do this even if they're certain it will work because it affects everyone's planning for centuries thereafter, and the cost of that is greater than any present gain can possibly be. That's different from saying that it won't be tried, and there is certainly both a profit motive and a structural desire for revenge involved. (Oil has an extraction price; this gets the commodity price much higher than the extraction price.)
