Submit a Technology Solution for the leak directly to EPA:
Submit a Technology Solution

Since the BP oil spill in the Gulf, EPA has received numerous suggestions regarding possible technology solutions for the oil spill response efforts. As a result, EPA has developed the voluntary submittal process described below to allow for faster review of the suggestions being offered and to provide guidance regarding what information would be most useful to the reviewing officials. The information we receive through this voluntary submittal process will be scrutinized for innovative ideas and technological solutions that are safe for the environment and public health and that can be deployed in the Gulf of Mexico to help with cleanup. We are interested in technology solutions that are protective of human health and the environment. The information you submit will be forwarded to the appropriate reviewing official who will contact you if necessary. Thank you for your interest in helping develop technology solutions for the spill response efforts.

Before you submit your suggestion there are a few things you should know. Specifically, you should be aware that:

And "Use the Force" is probably not considered Technology.

2. And pay them with BP executives.
I'm sure they're worth something in the right market.

4. First seize asll of BP's assets. Then throw all the corporate officers in Gitmo..
The rest can be worked out after that is done...

5. Cool
Thanks for the link. It saves me the trouble of a four-hour phone call with my EPA-employed, brother listening to him tell me how stupid my idea is. :)

8. OOOH! I've got it! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! OOOH! OOOH! OOOH!
We'll get all the OTHER oil wells in the vicinity to triple their pumping rate to reduce the pressure on BP's disaster well and eventually suck out ALL of the oil so nothing is left to gush out! Yeah, yeah! That's the ticket!
