Gulf oil spill, new solution may be available for cleanup!
Of all people, Kevin Costner (the movie star) has 31 devices that can suck up 200 gallons of saltwater per minute, and remove up to 99 percent of the oil, and return the water back into the ocean. He has been working on this machine for over 15 years, and is currently working on a improved version of the machine that could remove even more oil from a oil spill disaster.
All he is asking is to give it a try, and to just cover operation expenses....
Mr. Costner got involved in these machines during the filming of his movie "Water World", he bought the technology for the machines. which was developed by the Department of Energy after the disastrous Exxon Valdez spill. Mr. Costner has invested 24 million dollars into the research, development and manufacturing of these 31 devices. The devices can be lowered underwater where most of the oil contamination is, and clean up the mess, and the recovered oil can be then sent to the refinery for processing.......
BP (British Petroleum) and the U.S. Coast Guard will test 6 of the machine in the coming week.
John Cameron has also offered up the use of his underwater vessels should they prove helpful in cleaning up the environmental disaster, possibly for help locating where to place the devices for maximum removal of oil contaminated water.....
This almost sounds like one of those mega disaster movies that Hollywood seems to produce every couple years..... ~Parnelli
