I guess BP decision makers don’t work the weekends, even in the midst of a disaster! Here’s more articles and comments about the whole situation…..

This article by Tracy Staedter isn’t very good since the opinion about Kevin’s oil & water separator is from a guy who has 12 patents in oil spill cleanup technology and he doesn’t give the machine a very good critique but there are some good comments, at the following link:

”Does It Work? Kevin Costner’s Oil-Cleaning Machine” – see the article by Ian Yarett and comments, at the following link:

Excerpt from article by Chris Yogerst: “While British Petroleum and our own federal government appear to have been completely unprepared for the current oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, it appears that Costner is the only one who learned something from the 1989 Exxon Valdez accident. Sure, he could be appearing in commercials advocating clean energy like Robert Redford, instead he has been putting his own money into research that will help clean up oil spills” at the following link:

Excerpt from the article by Abby Wisse Schachter: “And one other important note, this is private enterprise at work. Costner is an avid fisherman and hunter and brought his considerable resources to bear on a problem he cares to solve. This wasn’t Washington, a bureaucrat or some government program. It’s an individual who is trying to do something constructive and may in fact have solved a serious ecological disaster. Let’s hope Costner’s machines deliver as advertised” at the following link:
