will kevin costner save the gulf coast?

From GOOD Blog:

So apparently Kevin Costner (yes, that Kevin Costner) has spent millions of dollars over the last eight years developing a centrifuge-like device called Ocean Therapy that removes oil from seawater.

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

[...]

BP has agreed to start testing Costner's inventions in the Gulf. The biggest Ocean Therapy unit can clean water at a rate of 200 gallons per minute, which is faster than the oil is leaking. If it works, this will totally make up for Waterworld.

Emphasis original.
