Excerpt from article by Louis Sahagun entitled: Gulf oil spill: ‘Kevin Costner solution’ has green light, but no green: Deployment of the 2½-ton machines had been delayed by rigorous testing requirements of BP and federal regulatory agencies, as well as engineering challenges posed by leaked oil that had degraded over time into gooey masses with the consistency of peanut butter, Costner said. “Our machines were originally developed to operate as first responders” to oil slicks, Costner said….“The machines don’t have to be tested anymore,” Costner said in a brief telephone conversation….“Where they will go is not up to me. That will be decided by BP and local parishes.” At the following link:
