[BITList] more centrifuges galore

[x50type at cox.net]

Hugh

you are taking this to heart to much – we are only talking about incredulity and a few million dollars.

Was BP having them on?  -- interesting question. how far up, down, side or middle did BP have to go to come across somebody in their organisation who said, - running the gulf of mexico through 27 centrifugal separators on 27 little barges at 100 gallons/hour/barge is a fucking ridiculous notion?

However, you may recall at the time that there was a veritable media frenzy and natives crying out in anguish – why did not BP put these wonder machines to clean up the oil spill immediately? why were they dragging their feet? surely they were not bothered about the cost? there must be a conspiracy involved here! Kevin Costner is our savior.................

so because of the pressure BP was under to stop the leak and clean up – did some one decide to anti up a few million to shut folks up? 

now, why they didn’t come out with it and say this will not work on the scale required – just ain’t practical; we don’t and probably never will know.

some details may be revealed in this trial.......................I will watch the local news sources and revert in due course.

Colin,

Tell me it isn't true.  Tell me my memories of being on the watch in 1957 that set up a world record of 10 minutes between closing HO rundown to purifiers and opening up again, after all cleaned, etc, ... was not a dream, that we really had discovered the mythical "centrifugal oil separator" before Hollywood.

I quote.
"Baldwin and Spyridon Contogouris, his friend and fellow plaintiff, were minority stockholders in Ocean Therapy Solutions, which was formed to market the machines, technically known as centrifugal oil separators. They claim that Costner kept them in the dark about a meeting in which BP agreed to make an $18 million deposit on an order for 32 of the devices that was estimated at $52 million. Costner, whose celebrity had brought attention to the machines, helped arrange the transaction."

Is a US court actually going to sit in judgement on this balderdash?  Was BP having them on?

Hugh.
