Oil platforms as deep sea fish farms…



I mean, yah!, they will be used for something next year when all the oil runs out...(ok... not next year but like in FIVE! and far too soon so as to cause us trouble because we AREN"T READY at all for oil to be no longer available or to cost a million squillion dollars a barrel)... what was I saying... oh yeah! good that they get used for something, but like , who wants to eat the fish now anyway seeing as they have all that mercury and yuk in them built up from their position in the food chain chowing down on all those pollutant sucking up little thingies they eat...

*sad*


Thousands of oil and natural gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico could be converted into deep-sea fish farms raising red snapper, mahi mahi, yellow fin tuna and flounder, under a plan backed by the Bush administration.
 
Miget remembered standing on a platform with an Occidental representative contemplating the future of fish farming. Responding to a question, Miget estimated that in ideal conditions, the platform could gross $6 million a year.

"The Occidental employee turned to me and said: 'We produce $6 million in gas every month off this platform,"' Miget said. "That put it in perspective."

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas


A gigantic nuclear furness
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

*sings louder*
The sun is HOT, the sun is NOT
a place where we could live...


(ok.. obviously I am crazy from a 4am start)

(PLEASE NOTE: date of this post is entirely estimated based on the fish farming post nearby)
