High speed on the nascar circuit. hes on the team at hendricks motorsports, the most winning designer in nascar. >> he sat down and shows me how he works on the computer and how he does his design work. i write with my right hand. you write with your left hand. he happens to write with his feet. >> reporter: who would have guessed when he was born back in 1983 in buford, south carolina -- >> you know, he was the cutest little boy. >> reporter: the doctor pulled his dad aside -- >> and said the b...

Spotlight on small businesses. were going to talk to entrepreneurs whose businesses are surviving and even thriving in these tough economic times. today were checking out goldie blocks. it is an effort to get young girls excited about engineering solutions to problems with a new book and clever little game. debbie stirling is the ceo of gold did i blocks. with more now on this effort. thanks very much for joining us. >> thanks very much for having me. uma i know this is a push to inspire the nex...

Changes to weather patterns that move crop production areas around, we will adapt to that. it is an engineering problem. and it has engineering solutions. >> i know we are almost certainly never happen and love to see rex meet face to face with the climate refugees that his companys actives are creating or have mitt romney head to the village and tell the people living there how hilarious it is that the oceans are rising. find out what my guests know that they didnt know when the week began. >> ...

Irrigate. >> i want to play you something which is an amazing bit of sound from exxon. one of the big oil companies and theyve spent a lot of money trying to convince people that the scientific consensus is that global warming is not true. here he is, yes, were warming the atmosphere with our co2 emissions, but dont worry about it, we can engineer our way out of the problem. >> im not disputing that increasing co2 emissions will have an impact. it will have a warming impact. how large it is is w...

Climate are giving up on it. the ceo of exon gave a speech last week in which he said, yep, youre right, global warmings real. he went on to say, its an engineering problem with engineering solutions and well just move our crop production areas to some place not so hot, which is ludicrous. you know, thats the tell. anybody that pays any attention to this knows that physics and chemistry are carrying the day and, you know, as powerful as the right wing talk machine is, its not as powerful as fiph...

Now to help junchts bp is work very hard at this. there are a number of engineering solutions they are working on, continue 0 work on. this is not the only thing thats being attempted. were also looking at the application of dispersements to disperse the oil before it gets to the water column. the relief well, theyve started drilling that and made progress over the last several days. no single solution short of tap capping this well is going to be suggest saysful and our guidance to british petr...

Theres a chance that the gas could actually form into ice crystals in the pipe, so theyre actually creating a jacket around the drill pipe and pumping surface at 78 degrees down to keep it warm to preclude that from happening. but basically these are techniques that have never been tried at this depth before. >> what i hear you saying its still a very, very iffy situation as its unfolding right now. bp, i know youve met with some of the top executives of british petroleum. are they doing everyth...
