OIL AND WATER: Explosion of Rig in Gulf of Mexico and Potential for Contamination of Water Supply a Concern
After an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, not only did the region have to contend with the slick caused by the explosion itself but now approximately 5,000 barrels a day are continuing to spew into the Gulf. Officials and politicians may argue about how best to clean up the mess but what are some of the short and long term implications of the damage already done?
If this oil comes ashore, will it contaminate any aquifers? Will it shut down power? Will people be without water? What kinds of threats will the infrastructure of nearby areas be under? Will evacuations be necessary?
EcoloBlue™ is a company that has come up with an innovative and revolutionary solution to such problems, caused by unexpected and unforeseen disasters like the one that happened in the Gulf. Being billed as “Katrina II”, this explosion may wreak many consequences along the U.S. Gulf Coast similar to what was seen after the 2005 hurricane devastated New Orleans.
Available to be your expert interview guest on this topic is Thomas Ryan Ward, Director of Education for EcoloBlue™ has been a “Water Warrior” for many years and getting people “off the grid” is one of his passions. With this amazing technology at their disposal, Ward envisions a scenario in which Eco-Blue can save lives in the event of disasters such as the one that occurred in the Gulf. Human beings can live two weeks without food but can barely make it two days without water. During an emergency, water is an immediate need.
Eco-Blue actually has the ability to create drinking water from air, without relying on the infrastructure of a water plant, for example. Oil getting into rivers and other water supplies can greatly inhibit the delivery of water to consumers. What if you were able to get your water from the air and then have it run to a filtration process? The future is now and the need has never been greater.
It's times like these that remind us that advances in technology can never stop.
Call Special Guests today to start the dialogue on a serious threat that may only be starting to rear its ugly head by affecting a major metropolitan area this past weekend.
Schedule an interview with Ward and get ready to hear how an individual household can produce, daily, eight gallons of its own clean drinking water literally out of thin air.
