A Hollywood nitwit can't sell his machines but is connected enough to force BP to buy them to put on small fishing vessels which are being used as skimmers. Some hero.

Meanwhile, a ship owner in Taiwan coverts a supertanker the size of an aircraft carrier into a skimmer and his ship is tied up in Norfork awaiting the Coast Guard, the EPA and Obama to give the OK to use it. The media barely reports on it too (I've yet to see this ship mentioned on TV)

Giant Oil Skimmer makes stop in Norfork

The story about the Taiwan ship made it to our local news here in Richmond VA. Haven’t heard a word on national news about it, tho. No surprise there.
