"Kevin Costner may hold key to oil spill cleanup" (million, world)

[delusianne]

"Costner has invested 15 years and about $24 million in a novel way of sifting oil spills that he began working on while making his own maritime film, Waterworld, released in 1995.

"Two decades later, BP and the U.S. Coast Guard plan to test six of his massive, stainless steel centrifugal oil separators next week."

And they say actors should just stick to acting.

Costner bought the technology, which was originally developed with help from the Department of Energy, after the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster and turned it over to a team of scientists and engineers for fine-tuning.

What a visionary... He took the Microsoft approach and slapped his name on something that someone else created.

I do hope it works and all, but don't go trying to make Costner out to be something he's not.

Considering his acting ability, I'm glad he is finally good for something.
