I listened to Barry Fisher's recorded 21 minute interview on Montreal's CJAD Radio, "Holder Tonight Show" (linked above) after missing his hour long Coast to Coast AM interview.

Basically, he said his company can grind up 125 - 150 tons of solid waste PER HOUR (buildings and stuff left behind by Katrina that FEMA and Halliburton subsidiary KBR are planning on burning or hauling away) and turn it into 3/4" particles, run them through liquid nitrogen, crush it into a powder, run through a thermal process in a nitrogen gas environment (which prevents incineration or combustion at high temperature) rendering the powder biologically inert, then recombines the powder with whatever other materials are needed to form building materials with whatever properties are needed in the size, shape and qualities desired. The building materials would be up to code and certified and with a strength equal to or greater than the original equivalent material. (their 'wood' is non flammable and waterproof, for example)

His process is cleaner and costs less and actually is environmentally friendlier than any other solutions being considered.

As far as remediating the biological hazards, his company can do THAT too! For example, all of the decontaminating chemicals he uses are EPA approved and environmentally friendly, but very effective.

One foam spray disinfectant, I believe he said, can make even a hospital room that's been under those nasty flood waters surgically sanitized in 6 seconds.

However, FEMA was asked to fund the manufacturing of machinery which would duplicate the machines his company now uses. However, they refused the purchase this past February, saying they didn't have the $$.

Fisher says his company could do ALL FOUR Katrina ravaged states for 100 million per state over three years ($100 million X 4 states = $400 million total). FEMA has budgeted 51 Billion for this over ? years.

PEI CEO Barry Fisher has been featured on hundreds of television and radio stations across North America including WABC/John Gambling Show NY, KABC McIntyre in the Morning/LA, CNBC Squawk Box, NPR All Things Considered, KFWB News/LA, CJAD Holder Tonight/Montreal (Listen to CJAD MP3)


EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS NEEDED TO CLEAN UP NEW ORLEANS AND THE GULF COAST:
1. Portable drinking water purification machines 2500 gallons per day up to
250,000 gallons per day.
2. Sanitization of all of the water in New Orleans on the streets, in buildings,
and in the drinking water systems.
3. Sanitization of the Super Dome and the Convention Center.
4. Sanitization of all of the water to be pumped into Lake Pontchartrain and
the Mississippi River.
5. Eliminating the hydrocarbons in the water in the City of New Orleans and
the surrounding lakes and streams.
6. Sanitization of all of the Hospitals in New Orleans.
7. Sanitization of the dead bodies and organics floating in waters in and around
New Orleans
8. Kill the smells in the water, in the buildings and the dead bodies.
9. Sanitize all of the business and commercial buildings.
10. Furnish foam to put out the remaining fires in New Orleans.
11. Machines to sterilize and grind up the debris and turn it into usable building
materials for housing and buildings.
12. Turn sewage and dead animals into non-toxic liquids and solids.

Here is the job can be done:

1. Use DBK (trichloromelamine) used by the military since 1952 as a universal
disinfectant.
2. Use TPH-100 and HFC 700 (an enzymatic, microbial cleaning solution) to
dissolve and remediate petrochemicals and hydrocarbons in the water and
soil in New Orleans and clean up organic solids such as sewage, dead
animals, fats, oils, grease, industrial and commercial wastes.
3. Use Prime Recycling Equipment to turn solid waste from debris such as
lumber, porcelain, metal, glass, plastics and other materials into brick,
building blocks, shingles, slabs, and other construction materials.
4. The PSI machines that can do these jobs are portable and can arrive on the
Gulf Coast in a minimum amount of time, depending upon whether or not
they can be readily transported into the area.

HOW FAST?
1. It can be on location as fast as FEMA can sign a contract.
2. Certifications from EPA and other agencies can be furnished for the equipment and materials to be used.

THE COST:
1. The cost will depend on the processes that we asked to implement and the quantity of debris we are asked to process If it is cost plus agreement, we can get to work immediately and send FEMA monthly bills. If we get a grant to start the project we can study the aerial photos and get estimates. Since there is a general contractor on the job, then we can furnish the cost of materials and equipment to both FEMA and the General Contractor.
I think anyone who checks out the website and listens to the interview will be impressed. If you want to do something to help the Gulf area which has been hard hit by Katrina and you ALSO want to save the federal government some money, why not do your due diligence first, then call or email FEMA and your Senators asking them to consider PEI.

It's your money that would be saved. And the environment would thank you.

Oh, by the way...

There's talk that all of the humanity caused contamination at the Superdome might cause them to just tear it down and build anew.

PEI says they can clean it to EPA standards.

Check it out.

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

I heard this guy on Coast To Coast last night. What a brilliant idea!
Mold 2x4s, sheetrock, chairs, almost anything + clean the environment.
I hope the idea takes off.

As another example and has been going on for a number of years; during new home construction, all the waste is cleaned/filtered and then combined with a road material and applied as your new driveway. It has saved thousands of dollars in hauling/disposing the waste as well as buying/prepairing new paving material. Pretty neat system.

Yeah, it'll take off like a lead balloon.

Bush's cronies will make ZERO money off of this idea - no way it'll ever be even considered!

Probably too true, but from what I heard Halliburton would be the contractor. (more money for Halliburton?!? )

The old saying applies that one man's trash is another man's treasure. It's great that they can recycle.

"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." Winston Churchill
