Excerpt from article by John Feeney: “The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to worsen. Today, Florida was reporting that large tar balls were washing up on its beaches. Bp has designed a siphon to help with the oil spill, but it is only cleaning up about 40% of what is being leaked out everyday. Something has to change. Enter Kevin Costner.” Article at the following link:

Excerpt from article by Mark R: “If he really has been working on this device for 15 years, then he must have just started after he had finished the movie Waterworld. Most people bring that movie up every time they mention a bomb of a film, but I’m guessing that the environmental message of the film was enough to inspire Costner to do something. How many films have done that? Well, I hope that this device is as incredible as it claims.” Article at the following link:
