Iceland volcano smokes toxic aluminium!& Geothermal to stop global warming+erupt
10-05-2010 18:53
As an ex raf cadet & former metal worker although I mainly worked on a lathe I did some metal work & forge work so I know it should be possible to pour-drop alot of iron or maybe marble into a volcano & then seal it with water sprayed on or dropped.Hopefully volcanologists, meteorologists & expert metalurgists are looking into this.
IF you smell sulphur, Keep in as much as possible especially kids& babies!
The smoke from Iceland has alot of aluminium in it
A potential win,win,win,win,win situ though if this wakes the world up to the geothermal power in iceland that could potentially power the whole of europe & alleviate volcanic activity if done safely

BIrmingham CIty and Solihull Council want to use £32 million of your money to move a road so that BIrmingham Airport can expand. If they can be persuaded not to, 17,000 new flights every year will be prevented. So we're off to reclaim the A45 with a flock of cyclists- sweeping through the countryside to the sounds of a bike-towed sound system. Dress for climate code Red, and bring ipod tunes to share.National Coordinator Domestic Extremist

Gulf oil spill threatens economic, environmental catastrophe
30-04-2010 14:52
"According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig lacked a device called an acoustic switch that could have shut off the flow of oil. The remote controlled device sends acoustic impulses through the water that can trigger an underwater valve to shut down the well.All offshore rigs have one main switch to shut off the flow of oil by closing a valve located on the ocean floor. There is also supposed to be a backup, a so-called “dead man,” that will shut down the well in the event of a catastrophe on the rig. Apparently neither of these devices worked on the Deepwater Horizon rig. The crewmembers who would have been closest to the shutoff switch are among those missing and presumed dead.
With an acoustic trigger a crew can shut down a well even if the rig is damaged or evacuated. However, BP, which reported profits of $5.598 billion for the first quarter of 2010, vigorously resisted changes to US regulations that would have required acoustic triggers on deep sea rigs, citing effectiveness and costs, about $500,000 per unit. Compliant US regulators agreed, saying other backup plans were sufficient. They called the acoustic triggers unreliable and prone to causing unnecessary shutdowns."
