Althouth a great concept, Costner's machine does nothing to stop the leak. What good is it at this point to separate oil from seawater if oil continues to flow at a rate of millions of gallons a day? I don't know of any expert that has come forward with a fail safe plan to stop the leak. I just hope that the "top kill" scheduled for Wednesday will work.

I like Jindal's plan to dredge up sand to build a barrier to protect the estuaries. But again, where are the solutions on how to stop the leak?

BP and the oil industry have the expertise and intellectual capital to stop the leak. Hell, the industry as a whole, not just BP, should have an interest of shutting down this leak as soon as possible. Has Exxon, Shell, Chevron/Texaco offered any solutions to stop the leak? It would be great PR if they did.
