I think you over-estimate the abilities of sane quantities of anfo.
a decent concrete bunker with a fair bit of thickness to it, 10-20 
meters of steel + concrete in a plug would do the job well enough that 
the semi of anfo could be better applied to a local seat of government.

You *could* blow it with less stuff, but your going to need more bang 
than thump (ie something other than anfo), to drill a bunch of very deep 
holes (which a few sheets of high hardness armor steel in the mix would 
make very difficult) and use a pretty decent timed detonation sequence.

I would happily have the first one under my back yard if they did the 
landscaping while they were at it and hooked me up for free.


Personally I think fusion power is the answer to most of the problems we 
face and is worth any amount of money to get.
