Hollywood and the Gulf Spill
The federal government is meeting with Hollywood celebrities to discuss options for addressing the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Houston Chronicle reports here on congressional testimony given by Kevin Costner on separators that he has been developing over the last several years (motivated by the Exxon-Valdez spill); and here on a meeting between U.S. EPA and Avatar director James Cameron, "considered an expert on underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies."
