The Government Wants to Know if You Have Suggestions to Stop the Ruinous Oil Gusher in the Gulf of Mexico

Well, the government and BP have tried everything else to stop the tragedy unfolding in the Gulf, and now they want our help.  A unit of the Department of Energy is asking for any ideas you may have to end the oil gusher shooting up from a mile below the water’s surface.  Click here to learn where you can share your thoughts on the subject.

Bill Valdez, the acting director of the Office of Small and disadvantaged Business Utilization sent out a plea for help, recently, after noting that the Department of Energy is “working tirelessly” to end the mess .

“At the request of President Obama, Secretary Chu traveled down to Houston to work closely with a team of top scientists from academia and the U.S. government, with support from more than 200 personnel from DOE’s national laboratories, to analyze the response efforts and recommend additional options for stopping the leaking oil.”

Apparently that wasn’t enough, so now Acting Director Valdez wants your help. The government may not know how to plug the oil, but it has at least come up with a name for the initiative to get our opinions: the Deepwater Horizon Response.

So, if you have a thought on the subject, you can add it to the more than 20,000 ideas submitted so far to:  http://www.horizonedocs.com/artform.php

Forget about the Cap & Tax agenda and accept the help offered weeks ago by the Dutch and others. Get some oil people involved instead of the "Czars" and "commissions".

Would it be possible to pump liquid oxygen down to the origin of the leak? If so, by adding a spark / source of flame, it might be possible to burn the gas and oil beneath the sea. When it comes time to put out the flame, simply cut off the supply of oxygen.

Hope this helps.
