Excerpt from article by Kate Sheppard: Like many, I at first thought the idea of Kevin Costner as Gulf savior sounded absurd. But unlike BP or the federal government, he's actually been thinking about this issue for the past 15 years. Meanwhile, the government's response plans have remained essentially unchanged in the two decades since our last big oil spill. The two panels of independent scientists and government officials more than made that clear on Wednesday. At the following link:

Excerpt from article by Vicki Walker: "The most powerful country in the world is fumbling its way through the biggest environmental disaster in history," Costner said on the 50th day of the Gulf oil spill…..While the purifiers may be too little to eradicate the spill, Costner said they should be considered for the thousands of small-scale spills that occur annually. "What I can provide is a technology that is available immediately, a technology that will allow rigs to resume operation and put people back to work," he said.

This is a good example of why we are where we are with this oil disaster right now: Excerpt from article by Patricia Murphy: Another witness, Nancy Kinner, said she is not familiar with Costner's machine. But she told the committee that federal agencies have to be careful not to use a process to clean up an oil spill that could be worse or more damaging than the oil spill itself. Kinner is the director of the University of New Hampshire's Coastal Response Research Center. At the following link:
