Creative ideas about combating La Palma http://farshores.proboards1.com/index.cgi?board=prop&action=display&num=1090199032&start=
"My idea is to move a tabular iceberg into place and avalanche the volcano in stages onto it. If ocean going tugs are used to move the iceberg while americans trade in their cars for microlites to fly over the tsunami if it happens before the iceberg is in place ,I estimate 68000 tugs would have to be built.Here is the estimate I have based that on-Tabular iceberg 30 kilometersx6kilometersx700meters top to underside.if moved by 1000 ships with adverse wind and current giving 1kn/metre sq resistance, the force each ship must have =30x700x1 kn ie 21000kn to move it say a force of 30000kn for each of the 1000 ships.Since a tug has 50 short tons pull ie 445.9 kn instead of 30000 the number of ships needed rises to 68000.My costing guess was based on 20million dollars to build each tug,but on looking on line apparently it would cost 10 million dollars to build each tug.So the probable cost lies somewhere between my initial estimate and half that. If something is not done and the tsunami happens, it could cripple America, which may result in nothing being done to speed up or slow down this ELE asteroid which according to a horison program is due to hit earth in eight hundred and something years, if we lose technology or rescources in the next eight centuries we go extinct.I am not saying that to alarm you but this is a problem on our doorstep which in my opinion needs solving."
