Fossil fuel has an ageless affinity with dinosaurs. To create oil, dinosaurs died.

The perfect energy storm is sweeping over the United States: Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown has paralyzed nuclear expansion globally, BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill has stalled deep water drilling, Arab oil countries are in turmoil causing doubt about access to future oil, the intensity of hurricanes hitting the Gulf’s oil rigs and refineries has intensified due to global warming, and the nation’s Strategic Oil Supply is riding on empty.

As the energy storm intensifies, the nation’s access to Arab oil, once supplying over sixty percent of our fossil fuel, is being threatened causing people to panic for lack of gas at the pumps, stranding cars across the country and inciting riots.

The U.S. Military is forced to cut back air, land, and sea operations sucking up 58% of every barrel of oil to protect the nation; U.S. commercial airlines are forced to limit flights for lack of jet fuel; and businesses are challenged to power up their factories, and offices as the U.S. Department of Energy desperately tries to provide a balance of electric power from the network of aged power plants and transmission lines that power up the nation.

The United States must find new sources of domestic fossil fuel urgently or face an energy crisis that will plunge the nation into a deep depression worse than 1929.

The energy storm is very real and happening this very moment. But, at the last moment of desperation, the United States discovers the world’s largest fossil fuel deposit found in a remote inaccessible mountain range within Alaska’s Noatak National Preserve surrounding six and a half million acres.

Preventing access to the oil is a colony of living fossil dinosaurs that will protect its territory to the death.

Nobody gets out alive; nobody can identify the predator--until Dr. Kimberly Fulton, Curator of Paleontology at New York’s Museum of Natural History, is flown into the inaccessible area by Scott Chandler, the Marine veteran helicopter pilot who’s the Park’s Manager of Wildlife. All hell breaks loose when Fulton’s teenage son and his girlfriend vanish into the Park.

Will the nation’s military be paralyzed for lack of mobility fuel, and will people across America run out of gas and be stranded, or will the U.S. Military succeed in penetrating this remote mountain range in northwestern Alaska to restore fossil fuel supplies in time to save the nation from the worst energy driven catastrophe in recorded history?

Stephen Baldwin sues Kevin Costner over BP oil spill

Stephen Baldwin, the actor, is suing Kevin Costner and his business partner for $3.3 million over the BP oil rig disaster.

By Nick Allen, Los Angeles


The unlikely legal case centres on technology that Costner and his associates provided to help suck up oil following the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Costner, the Oscar-winning Hollywood star and environmental activist, has spent over 15 years developing machines designed to separate oil and water, 32 of which were bought for the clean up by BP.

The spill resulted from an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig and flowed for three months, releasing millions of barrels of oil into the sea and creating a giant slick.

Amid desperate containment efforts Costner appeared before Congress to describe how the oil separating machines worked and advocating their use.

Baldwin, 44, who starred in The Usual Suspects, claims he invested in a joint venture with Costner, 55, and others and that he owned 10 per cent of it

But he claims he was duped into selling back his share for just $500,000 having not been told that BP was buying the machines for $52 million.

Baldwin claims the venture made a profit of $38 million of which his share should have been $3.8 million (£2.5 million), so he lost out on $3.3 million.

Another member of the joint venture who claims to have had a 28 per cent share is suing for $9.2 million in a joint lawsuit with Baldwin against Costner and his business partner.

In the 31-page lawsuit obtained by TMZ, the celebrity news website, Baldwin and the other plaintiff claim they were "misled" into selling their interests in a joint venture called Ocean Therapy Solutions.

The lawsuit alleges: "The plaintiffs have been damaged directly by the misrepresentations and omissions of defendants in that they sold their membership interests for a fraction of their actual value."

Costner has declined to comment on the allegations.
