May 27, 2010 — Actor Kevin Costner has been funding a team of scientists for 15 years in hopes of developing a technology to clean up massive oil spills, and his research has created a powerful centrifuge that he claims can separate oil from water and dump the oil into a holding tank.

Costner and representatives of Ocean Therapy Solutions, the firm that developed the machine, demonstrated the centrifugal device for BP officials in New Orleans last week. "I believe they'll want to do the right thing," Costner told reporters at the time.

"We've agreed to test it," BP spokesman Mark Proegler told ABCNews.com today.

Officials with Ocean Therapy Solutions have said one of their machines is capable of cleaning up to 210,000 gallons of water per day. The oil extractor leaves the water 99 percent clean of crude, the firm said in a statement.

1. It is too bad Wall Street has the betting on Credit Default Swaps

going on, in relation to such things as how fast BP can bring about the End of the World.

Sooner the world ends, apparently, then sooner the Fat Cats will get more money.

Of course, life on their planet will be ended also, but they haven't figured that out yet.

2. This was all the rage in the media a few weeks ago

Since then, not a peep about it. Either the device didn't work, it doesn't work as well as claimed, or it works perfectly and BP are just being idiots. I don't know.

3. They stuck it in a marsh

Instead of open water and claim it does not work.

You got the idiot part right.

4. Then they need to tweek the technology and make it work!

Come on, so close but yet so far...
why can't something 'out of the box' worki in this case? hell, 30 year old technology sure doesn't work any better!

I want to see this in action for reals....go, kevin go!

5. It seems if they can't "capture" the oil to use they don't want the technonology

6. Finally some hopeful news.
