3. Trust me..I'm not trashing him. I think it's awesome!

:applause: I only wonder why the oil companies didn't think of it themselves.
It saves them both money and bad press.

5. I guess they just don't get it.

They seem to farm out so many things as it is, and all they think is drill drill drill, how we gonna drill, and explore for more.

To make matters worse, my experience with large companies is that one arm doesn't know what the other's doing.

Recommending your post.

:thumbsup:

7. Thank you.

We should have a fleet of clean up vessels with devices like these on board.
It's a matter of national preservation and national security IMHO.
Just think if oil drilling platforms were required to have a high volume water/oil separators
such as these on board. It would almost justify the risk.

4. Where's Ted Danson on this? Isn't he involved with ocean cleansing?

I read where he has spearheaded a group to clean up the ocean. He's another good guy who walks the walk.
