The Gulf oil situation is like a leaky outdoor faucet.
To stop the water in the inside pipes from dripping out of the outside faucet, an air bubble inside the pipe between the exit valve and the water supply, at the correct pressure, will stop the passage of fluid. Just ask any plumber.
Another solution, sort of a solid variation of the previous liquid one, involves plugging the leaking end of the pipe (now that its in two pieces) with a lead weight--like a sinker. The scientists can calculate the inner diameter of the pipe and manufacture the sinker to have a slightly smaller diameter, so it "slides" in the pipes open end. This will at least greatly reduce the volume of oil and gas, if not stop it entirely.

Let me know your thoughts.
