Robert Ballard on exploring the oceans (Drill, baby, drill!!)

TED ^ | Feb. 2008 | Dr. Robert Ballard

[pillut48]

Ocean explorer Robert Ballard takes us on a mindbending trip to hidden worlds underwater, where he and other researchers are finding unexpected life, resources, even new mountains. He makes a case for serious exploration and mapping. Google Ocean, anyone?

I would love to see Sarah Palin team up with Dr. Ballard and try to get this anti-American economy administration to USE OUR VAST NATURAL RESOURCES instead of forcing us to buy our energy resources from countries where the people hate us for religious reasons!!! Thanks to FReeper Daffynition for the TED link! This stuff is fascinating!

That was outstanding....we need to move funds being wasted in the quest to show Global Warming to exploration of the ocean....

Send Jim Hansen and crew down to explore the heat down below.

Great idea Ernest. I’m sure he would be simply thrilled.

TED has an absolutely fantastic set of lectures. Everyone can find something there to enjoy and learn from - unless, of course, their brain has stopped functioning properly.
