Canada has an abundance of trees and Florida has a serious need for a floating barricade ... mmmmhhhhh?
Okay Dalton McGunity, please get on the phone to Florida Governor Charlie Crist and offer him a convoy of 20 truckloads of logs, plus assistance in securing more logs and absorbent materials such as hay, hair, sawdust etc.
Ontario taxpayers and businesses will pay for the first convoy, which will likely lead to orders for many many more, as the proposed oil barrier stretches southward from the Panhandle along Florida's Gulf Coast.
The key will be to build a raft barrier with changeable absorbents above and below the raft, to capture oil splashing onto the raft from waves, and oil trying to seep under the raft. As the netting bags of absorbent materials fill up with oil, they can be removed for safe disposal and replaced with fresh absorbents.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has an opportunity to protect the assets of Ontario citizens while also being a model of international cooperation and a promoter of green solutions.
Line up the logs, make the call to Charlie in Florida and let's get this floating berm rolling. Find out what they need and help them out.
Readers are invited to post below any ideas about how to stop the blowout, and also on how to prevent further damage to wildlife and beaches.
Peace 2 All,
Joe College
