>>People think fusion will save us.<< Eventually, but I think a combination of wind, solar and other green technologies comined with new atteries, semi conductors etc will be the solution. Scince just needs to throw a lot of money at the problem. Tax the oil companies and put the money into a new energy grid and new technology.

UPDATE 1-BP aims to gather up to 20,000 bpd from oil spill Mon Jun 7, 2010 10:44am EDT WASHINGTON June 7 (Reuters) - BP Plc (BP.L) (BP.N) plans to increase the collection of oil at the site of the ruptured oil well in the Gulf of Mexico to about 20,000 barrels per day, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Monday. Thad Allen, the Coast Guard admiral heading the federal relief effort, said BP would be sending in another craft to increase the amount of oil that can be recovered. On Sunday BP captured 11,100 barrels of oil with its containment cap. Allen also said even after the well is capped, the United States will be dealing with a spill for another four to six weeks. About 120 linear miles of coast line have been affected by the oil spill, he said. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said BP would be spending billions of dollars in penalties for the oil spill. "They are the responsible party. They are going to bear the costs there," said Gibbs. "Those costs are likely to greatly exceed what the oil that is recouped is sold for on the market ... there will be penalties that are involved in this in the many billions of dollars." reuters.com
