The New OIL Spill Hope

After almost 3 1/2 months of polluting one our greatest natural resources, BP has came up with a solution to the problem. Hopefully. According to the Wall Street Journal. “Monday night BP had installed a new sealing cap that could halt the oil spewing from its broken well in the Gulf of Mexico, raising the possibility that a nearly three-month long environmental crisis could soon be contained. It could be another 48 hours before the company knows if the cap has entirely sealed the well. During that period, the company will perform a series of pressure tests to check the well’s integrity. Concerns have been raised that the well could be even more damaged than previously known and that another uncontrolled leak could occur at any time.”

The Ideal solution has not hit BP yet, nor our government, but it seems to me that the solution is not in the Oil Spill…its in the Future of Energy. I know this may sound crazy and far fetch, but the Oil spill could be a good thing in about 50 years. Let me explain before you burn me at the cross. After the worst environmental disaster since forever, we must change the way we do certain things as a people. We must find cleaner sources of energy NOW, such as wave, wind and geothermal. If you didn’t know now, you know the Ideal solution for our energy crisis is right below our feet.

Geothermal power is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. It has been used for bathing since Paleolithic times and for space heating since ancient Roman times, but is now better known for generating electricity.

NOW THAT’S THE IDEAL SOLUTION…to me anyway.Enjoy.
