Hey, if it works, give it a shot:
BP has decided that a $24 million oil-water separator promoted by actor Kevin Costner could be useful in its response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, WWL-TV reports. Costner came forward this month with an oil spill cleanup technology he started devising after the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. He demonstrated a centrifuge that he said could be placed on barges and used to suck in oily water, separate the oil and spit out mostly pure water.BP watched the machine at work this past Thursday.
It would seem that splashing around in "Waterworld" had an affect. You may recall the name of the tanker in that movie and the reference to "Old Saint Joe" -- Joseph Hazelwood, captain of the Exxon Valdez....
