NANOBOTS!!! I've figured it out.
Why haven't we just designed and built nanobots to pour down the well to automagically fix it?!?!?!

1. We don't need nanobots
That's totally the wrong way to go.

We need one big maxi-bot to go down and poke a finger in the hole. I think the Coast Guard has one but they're not using it for some reason!!!

Obama! Order in the giant robot already!
