Only thing holding up deployment of these centrifuges is some permit, ruling, okay, or something or other by the Coast Guard, EPA, or some other federal agency. Shouldn't President Obama just step in and cut the bureaucratic red-tape to make these tools immediately available?

sure, you can talk to god, but if you don't listen then what's the use? so, onward through the fog!

For good or bad, this disaster is going to hurt the "drill, baby, drill" shouters. It's going to hurt everyone on the bleeping PLANET if they don't stop the leak and start sucking up all the oil pretty soon.

Sounds great... not sure why this is coming up a month after the start of the spill? Maybe they were still in developmental mode, and have rushed to get these machines ready to deploy? Anyway hope it works out

Well, its Friday, President Obama went down, took a look around, talked to his people, promised virtually everything that the folks living down there wanted, and went home to go on vacation. I was a little disappointed, however. I had thought that he would have a public meeting with all the angry folks. Then we could have all watched as he expertly dealt with unhappy locals, and the problems arising from gov fixating on the well and ignoring the oil in the water. That did not happen. I suspect it was an unfortunate choice but then, I think, there have been a LOT of unfortunate choices to do with this thing.
I hope, however, that they can fix the mess. I hold little faith, but I do hope they can.

Anyway hope it works out First news report of the technology and Costner's efforts to get the government to employ it in the clean up. Costner & Co. began working on the centrifuges following the Exxon Valdez spill. It's old technology. They were down in LA the first week offering it. The problem is federal red-tape. Similar to the problem that LA had getting some Army Corps of Engineer permit to protect their coastline. A lot of the damage to be their marshes could have been avoided. If you haven't already, then please view this video, which explained the problem LA was having with the Corps.
