I don’t know why people give Kevin Costner a hard time. I guess he somewhat fell out of favor after Water World.
But, so what?
If his machine can clean up the oil, then that’s a blessing as far as I’m concerned. And it once again would show that “free market” solutions and not government is the answer to problems.
On second thought, maybe that’s why congress is giving Kevin a hard time.

From CNS News:
Actor Kevin Costner said yesterday at a press conference on Capitol Hill that if a machine produced by a company he is a partner in had been used earlier to contain the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, “we would be keeping that [the oil] offshore.”
The machine, which Costner invested more than $20 million to develop, can separate oil from water to clean up oil spills.
Costner said that BP, the oil company whose damaged well is the source of the spill, had recently placed an order for deploying 32 of the machines.
“We’re coming to this fight very late,” said Costner. “I think everybody would recognize that. And so we’re going to do the things that we can do but this company is poised to mobilize in order to step this up and to create an environment where people can go back to work. There is a single moment that exists right at this moment and that is there are people out of work. There’s a moratorium and there’s no way to lift that unless I believe the government feels that people can operate in a safe way. This represents that pivot point.”
