Innovations Growing Out of Oil Spill - Political Pistachio Radio Revolution

Uerstandably, the news event holding the strongest gravitational pull on the media right now is the hemorrhage of oil in the Gulf. From the day of the rig’s explosion and toppling on the ocean’s surface, through every failed attempt to cap the leak one mile down in the weeks that have followed, our heavy hearts force us all to question our faith in technology.

But while the struggle continues, somewhere in the long, murky shadow of BP are other successful disaster-relief technologies worthy of restoring some of that faith.

John Sabia is the CFO of Medical Infusion Technologies (MIT), developer of the ProVector—an innovative biopesticide device that is working to solve the infectious-disease problems in regions such as Haiti.

With a disaster as slow and torturous as the BP leak, even the incredible earthquake that literally brought Haiti’s capital to the ground just five months ago has suddenly lost its news luster. But that nation, already consistently running among the highest malaria rates in the world, remains under increased mosquito pressure—with the start of hurricane season threatening to make it even worse.
