Tim's got a really good thread here. On the topic of "controlling fire", I periodically get to hear proposals from engineers (it's always engineers) on their ideas to "solve fire". The most recent memorable one was to coat forests in an organic glue-like paste which would stop foliage from burning.

Hello, so, I'm an anthropologist who has studied wildfires for over a decade and, just recently, handed in a book manuscript for peer review on the pathologies of wildfire management in Australia and, to a lesser extent, Canada and the US. It's called "How to Control Fire" (TBC).
