Why can't they freeze the oil to stop the oil spill in the gulf?

Extremely difficult. At the reservoir depth, oil is 262 degrees. It is still hot as it leaves the blow out preventer, even though it passes through 40 ft of nearly freezing water. It is gushing out of the blow out preventer at very high velocity, and I have no idea of how you could cool the oil and all the water around it to freezing.

The worst oil spill ever happend in march 15, 1910 in Kern County, California when a man named Julius Fried bought a patch of land hoping to strike it rich with oil. Months passed and the drill hit 2,200 feet (670 meters) below the surface, and the well erupted and gushed uncontrollably for 18 months spewing 9 million barrels of oil. About 5 million barrels were captured and sold.
