Tar balls in Florida not from oil spill

Don't worry Costner will fix it.


Gulf oil spill: Kevin Costner donates 'Ocean Therapy' invention to clean oil from sea; BP OK's tests

Could there be a happy Hollywood ending to the Gulf oil spill?

Enter "Waterworld" star Kevin Costner, who has spent years and millions of dollars perfecting a device that cleans oil from seawater.

British Petroleum - desperate for ideas - gave the okay to test six of Costner's gizmos this week, said BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles.

Costner's high-speed centrifuge machine has a Los Angeles-perfect name: "Ocean Therapy."

Placed on a barge, it sucks in large quantities of polluted water, separates out the oil and spits back 97% clean water.

"It's like a big vacuum cleaner," said Costner's business partner, Louisiana trial lawyer John Houghtaling.

"The machines are basically sophisticated centrifuge devices that can handle a huge volume of water," he said.
 
Man, I sure do hate tar balls.

That is actually pretty cool. We should have had such simple technology years ago.

And why pray tell would some random ship dump oil in the Gulf?

Oh no lads! Our tanker is over loaded! Better poor of a couple thousand gallons of oil. No one will ever know! :lol:

They probably came from the ship's bilge.

My brother got their first turtle needing cleaning at the aquarium in New Orleans. It's really just hit us.

The oil is so bad that it took them 2 1/2 hours to clean one small turtle with Dawn. It just won't come off.

This is not going to be good for anyone, sans the environazis that want situations just like this to use as propaganda.
