Why would it take so long for BP to test the Oil Separator???

I can’t believe my eyes! From the article by Louis Sahagun, LA Times, BP spokesman Mark Proegler is quoted as saying, “BP has agreed to test Mr. Costner's machines. Of course, they need to meet regulations with respect to discharge.” WHAT? BP is spewing gallons and gallons of oil in to our gulf every minute and have been for the last month and they are going to be sticklers about Kevin’s oil separator that can clean the oil out of the water to 97% clean? Unbelievable!! Don’t they see how asinine they are being? Guess not! What’s the delay? See the article at the following link:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-oil-spill-hollywood-20100521,0,6581272,full.story

Excerpt from the article by Marci Stone: “Doug Suttles, BP’s chief operating officer said that six machines had been approved for testing. "All boast centrifuge processing technology — giant vacuum-like machines that suck oil from water, separate the oil, store it in a tanker and send the water, 99.9 percent purified, back into the gulf."

Excerpt from the article by Laila Morcos: “Using a small prototype of the machine, Costner demonstrated how it works for a group of stressed parish officials today. "We'll take this any day over the black oil that's covering south Plaquemines right now," says Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser.” Article at the following link:

Excerpt: “Many people are excited to see his machine put to use and hope that it will help in clean up efforts across the Gulf area. Some scientists have predicted the oil spill could affect shorelines as far away as the Northeast US if it isn’t contained. BP currently has 930 vessels working to contain the spill including skimmers, tugs, recovery boats and barges. The company reports that there are 19,000 people from BP, government agencies and other companies working on the disaster.” Article at the following link:

Excerpt from article entitled: “Kevin Costner to the Rescue” by Brian Sonenstein: “Compared to the in-situ burns and deployed booms, this seems to be the most effective way to get the oil out of the water, and could do a lot to address the underwater plumes. Let’s just hope he gets out there as soon as possible and that these devices work, because it’s getting uglier by the day.” Article at the following link:

Excerpt from the article by Lisa Derrick: “Full disclosure: My ex-husband was in the Waterworld and I’ve seen the Universal Studios stage and tank show based on the movie, too. That being said, I am really stoked that Kevin Costner has put his money where his heart and mind are.” Article at the following link:
