Black Engineer Award Winner May Have Solution to Save Gulf

[Segami]

:applause:......Great! What are we waiting for? Lets get crackin!


" Tony Watson, a 31-year U.S. Navy veteran and 1988 winner of the Black Engineer of the Year Government Award says that stopping the flow of oil can be fixed immediately by new technology ready for immediate deployment.


"Clean Beach Technologies has developed new technology equipment that enables three key strategies to be implemented simultaneously to significantly arrest the flow of crude oil to shore," he says.


"This is the world's biggest problem right now," maintains Watson, CEO of Clean Beach Technologies. "Especially with the failure of the dome repair to achieve its objective," he warns. “Oil will continue to gush out at more than 5000 barrels per day, and separately, disperse towards shore, causing long-lasting devastating impact or even destruction of the fish and shrimp industry and the way of life of millions of American workers—perhaps making beaches uninhabitable for local Gulf summer beach industries, destroying the entire summer economic equation of the beach regions," he says.


Clean Beach Technologies has developed new technology equipment that enables three key strategies to be implemented simultaneously to significantly arrest the flow of crude oil to shore:


1. Open Ocean Recovery
2. Marsh Reclamation
3. Beach Restoration


"I took a trip by small boat out to Port Eads, LA, lighthouse area to get more closely familiar with the marshland near the southern tip of the Mississippi. Visited the facility that hosts some of our USCG troops out near the lighthouse. My partner operates the camp facility and OSV's out there a half mile away.


"We have established partnership with the nation's largest tug company to deploy the extremely high capacity open ocean oil recovery system we designed. We can be collecting almost immediately to supplement the traditional oil collection methods, but at a much higher rate of collection. We can even look at reconfiguring already deployed boats."


Watson, currently co-chairman of the Black Engineer of the Year Alumni Association, says, "We can collect all of this oil, or nearly so, in rapid time before it reaches the beaches, IF we start now. We have the technology and the team.:applause:

1. IF we start now

But someone has to figure out who is going to make the profit before we can start.

Other than that there's no information as to how they plan to allegedly stop the flow. Sounds like promotional hype to me.

10. While I applaud this, I have to note that he is going under the assumption of 5k barrels/day

Will his theory fall apart if it is close to 75k?
