Cesar Harada: A novel idea for cleaning up oil spills

http://www.ted.com When TED Senior Fellow Cesar Harada heard about the devastating effects of the BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, he quit his dream job and moved to New Orleans to develop a more efficient way to soak up the oil. He designed a highly maneuverable, flexible boat capable of cleaning large tracts quickly. But rather than turn a profit, he has opted to open-source the design.

No offense but, TED is like a rock concert for nerds by the way they give a standing ovation for some nerd trying to save the oceans with his toy. Not bad. Not bad at all. Keep up the good work.

Where are all the Anti-Asian comments against this slant eyed jap? Is it possible that one video on youtube that features an Asian male has escaped the racist trolls and actually has no asian-hating comments? I guess I have to do it.

Chinks are not human. Don't hire Asians. Don't rent homes to them. Don't let them go to your schools (unless they bring up the average). Don't vote for gooks either.

I understand that he started wanting to help with oil spills. But his novel approach is about ships and sailing.
