Excerpt from article by John Harlow, dated May 23, 2010: This weekend six machines are being assembled on barges moored off Louisiana. They could cast off as soon as dawn tomorrow…..Costner has also teamed up with John Houghtaling, a New Orleans trial lawyer and chief executive of OTS, to finance a documentary about the disaster to keep BP “honest” in the clean-up operation. “Kevin warned oil companies seven years ago they needed technology like ours, but they said another Exxon Valdez scale disaster could not happen again. This devastation is potentially far worse, and Kevin wants to make sure the oil companies do not slacken off their efforts after the media leaves. This documentary will hold oil companies such as BP to account, and hopefully aid those who are now pressing for more safeguards built onto rigs and tankers.” At the following link:

Excerpt from blog by davide, dated May 22, 2010: Tony Hayward, the beleaguered chief executive of BP, has claimed its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is “relatively tiny” compared with the “very big ocean”……It seems that Kevin Costner learned something important when he risked his fortune to make the movie Water World. He realized we humans were not ready to respond to the really big oil spill disasters, then. Costner and Ocean Therapy Solutions is ready now!…….True the Costner system hasn’t been proven on a scale this large, let us just hope it works…..What is so amazing when asked about making money off their inventions and response efforts, Costner said we haven’t talked money yet. Too bad we can’t get some guys like Costner and Cameron into the Congress, guys that use their wealth and power to do what needs to be done. At the following link:

Excerpt from article by Jim Hagerty, dated May 20, 2010: The six Ocean Therapy Solutions machines are being hauled by barge from California. Their voyage began Wednesday, May 19. Comment posted by John Ballard: Good for him. I am an engineer and this concept should work well. He isn't just another celebrity that knows everything and needs to teach us the err of our ways. Good luck Kevin. At the following link:

Excerpt from the article by Saul Relative, dated May 20, 2010: At present, Ocean Therapy Solutions are a bit behind, the oil spill having grown to over 46,000 square miles of polluted water since the accident last month in the Gulf of Mexico at BP's Deepwater Horizon drill ship. Eleven rig workers were killed, the drill ship sank, and the ruptured well began spilling thousands of gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico. Estimates range from 5,000 gallons to 70,000 gallons escaping into the Gulf waters per day. The potential of environmental damage is estimated to be catastrophically high. "Years before I got involved," Kevin Costner told reporters, "oil spills came and I would wonder why we couldn't clean this up." At the following link:

Excerpt from article by Mark Guarino, dated May 20, 2010: Costner said his decision to fund the technology was a result of needing to use the wealth he was “lucky” to accumulate instead of “piling it” for no real purpose. “We all make decisions about what we want to be a part of. I’m just one person focusing on a specific problem and throwing a little resources to a lot of talent and manpower … to come up with what is a [solution],” At the following link:

Excerpt from article by Joe Leydon, dated May 20, 2010: I've always been a Costner fan. (Not only do I think his performance in Mr. Brooks was criminally underrated — I've even had nice things to say, and write, about The Postman.) And if he can save my home state of Louisiana (among other places) from this disaster, I will gladly buy him dinner at the restaurant of his choosing. No kidding. At the following link:

Excerpt from the blog by Elizabeth Snead, dated May 20, 2010: According to the New York Times, BP officials is gonna give it a try and Ocean Therapy Solutions hopes to have the machines deployed and in action this week. OK, why does it take an actor to come up with this? What the heck is BP doing for emergency plans? God forbid they should spend some of their huge oil profits on saving the environment. And by the way, thanks, Kevin. We forgive you for "Waterworld." At the following link:

Excerpt from article by Starcasm, dated May 20, 2010: In a story coming way out of left field (of dreams) Kevin Costner might have the answer to how to help with the environmental nightmare BP oil spill that is wreaking havoc on the Gulf Coast region. No this doesn’t involve Costner evolving into a part human-part gill having fish-man like in Waterworld but real science. I know this is incredible! Costner is the star in so many movies where he is responsible for saving the day (The Postman, Waterworld, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, The Bodyguard) that maybe this shouldn’t seem so shocking.

Excerpt from article by Michael Cerkas, dated May 21, 2010: Well, it's been proven once again; art mimics life. Revisiting a role he played in the 1989 blockbuster, "Field of Dreams", Kevin Costner is a present day Ray Kinsella, only this time, the field is the Gulf of Mexico, and the current oil spill situation is brutally real, dangerous and getting worse by the day.
