BP’s true perspective and other comments….

According to the article, entitled: BP CEO: Gulf Of Mexico Is A ‘Very Big Ocean’, Amount Of Oil From Leak Is ‘Tiny’ by Frances Martel, at the following link, dated May 14, 2010:
http://www.mediaite.com/online/bp-ceo-gulf-of-mexico-is-a-very-big-ocean-amount-of-oil-from-leak-is-tiny/
BP’s CEO, Tony Hayward insisted that the leaked oil and the estimated 400,000 gallons of dispersant that BP has pumped into the sea to try to tackle the slick should be put in context. “The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume.”

Transcript of discussion on NPR entitled: Oil Spill Cleanup Technology stuck in 20th Century. Thirty-one years ago, the Ixtoc I well blew out in the Gulf of Mexico after its blowout preventer failed. Cleanup crews responded with oil booms, skimmers and detergents. Ira Flatow and guests discuss why, three decades later, oil cleanup crews still rely on the same technology. They only mention Kevin’s machines briefly. At the following link:

Excerpt from article entitled: Twitter’s fake BP spokesman too slick for the oil company by Mark Milian: As if the all-too-real BP oil spill weren't enough of a circus, a satirical Twitter account called @BPGlobalPR adds some dark humor to a sludgy situation. The fake BP Twitter page was created a week ago….the project has netted more than $3,000 for the nonprofit Gulf Restoration Network through the sale of $25 "BP cares" T-shirts (in green and black, a nice mesh of the colors of money and oil).

Excerpt from blog entitled: Hey Kevin Costner, “If You Build It, They Will Clean It” by Dimitry Greentree: You may remember him as Ray Kinsella, the man who built it so they would come in “Field of Dreams”. Or, you might remember him as Crash Davis, the washed up minor leaguer from “Bull Durham”. Shoot, more fitting, you might even be one of the few cult fans of his mutant character, Mariner, from the post-apocalyptic “Waterworld”. Whichever Hollywood character you associate Mr. Kevin Costner with, you can now add real life environmental savior to the list.

Excerpt from article by John Feeney: “The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to worsen. Today, Florida was reporting that large tar balls were washing up on its beaches. Bp has designed a siphon to help with the oil spill, but it is only cleaning up about 40% of what is being leaked out everyday. Something has to change. Enter Kevin Costner.” Article at the following link:

Excerpt from article by Mark R: “If he really has been working on this device for 15 years, then he must have just started after he had finished the movie Waterworld. Most people bring that movie up every time they mention a bomb of a film, but I’m guessing that the environmental message of the film was enough to inspire Costner to do something. How many films have done that? Well, I hope that this device is as incredible as it claims.” Article at the following link:

At a press conference today, Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser announced that “they will be demoing a new filtration technology tomorrow – funded by none other than actor Kevin Costner and designed with his brother, who Mr. Nungesser said is a scientist. From what I understand based on Mr. Nungesser’s description, it sounds like a water filtration device that traps oil.”

From May 6, 2003 excerpt from article entitled: Kevin Costner Represents Own Oil-Spill Cleaning Business at Houston Conference by Dave Kaplan: “The Offshore Technology Conference at Reliant Center is an endless maze of booths with thousands of companies and subsidiaries represented. Each booth vies for the attention of passers-by with giveaways like pens and candy. But Booth No. 2269 offered Kevin Costner, and it was mobbed. Women froze in their tracks. "Oh, my God. That is Tin Cup," one said. Costner's appearance was not some company stunt. He is the company -- the driving force behind Costner Industries…” at the following link:
