View Full Version : Posting a New Debate Seems.. Hollow now..
Hatetank 08-28-2006, 11:17 PM In light of todays events, I'm pretty much drained. So what on earth do we debate about now? Oooo, I know. Stupid Debate!
Do you think it would be a good idea to put a giant engine on an iceberg and drive it down to drought areas? I saw this on "Brewster's Millions" and thought it was a pretty good idea.

Sure, why not!
Rileysmom 08-28-2006, 11:19 PM :roflmao Take it up with Mythbusters and see if they will give it a whirl! :lol
Amber V 08-28-2006, 11:19 PM My cousin and I were discussing this a few weeks ago. We both thought overall that while the idea seemed ingenious we thought it would not work over all.
Sounds good if it would work!

:lol Good idea we should write to them and tell em to test it out. :D
Caimbrie 08-28-2006, 11:49 PM Someone should try it! :teehee
it is so freakin hot in my house! do you think i could be a pit-stop?:lol
Brialee 08-29-2006, 12:38 AM Hey, it's worth a try, what's the worse that could happen, just a bunch of melted ice EVERYWHERE, lol!
Hatetank 08-29-2006, 12:57 PM I do like the MythBusters idea.. I may submit that to them when I get home tonite! I sincerely doubt anything will come of it, but it's certainly an entertaining thought!
Isn't it saltwater though?

:yes Good thought!
jlbecker 08-29-2006, 01:52 PM i've always wanted to drive an iceberg...
Hatetank 08-29-2006, 02:31 PM Yes, they are saltwater.. which would require some affordable means of filtering. Evaporation would work fine, as long as we had a good cheap way of catching the water from an evaporating iceberg... Which sounds just as silly as driving an iceberg, anyway!
Lauren 08-29-2006, 11:07 PM I'd want to see some studies on how it would affect the iceberg. I've seen some stuff on the discovery channel about how the ice caps are melting and it's affecting the temp and salt levels of the ocean. It hypothesized that over time it will affect it so much and that's how the ice ages happen.
I don't want human interference to speed up what's a naturally slow process.
Hatetank 08-29-2006, 11:19 PM I didn't plan on moving miles and miles of ice.. I was thinking a really large glacier, with a mile of ice total. That's a LOT of water. But, you're right.. leaving it up to mankind, this would somehow trigger a disaster.
