WASHINGTON — Actor Kevin Costner said today he has a “partial solution to the tragedy unfolding in the Gulf” — then ripped everyone involved by saying that “we are all at fault here.”
Costner testified today in Washington before a Congressional hearing looking into the oil spill.
“We are all at fault here. It’s just too easy to blame BP,” said the actor. “What we need to do now is come together.”
Costner told the House Energy and Environment subcommittee that he was testifying as a “discouraged US citizen and entrepreneur,” according to People.com.
Costner, 55, touted his business venture, Ocean Therapy Solutions, which has developed a machine that could help with the cleanup.
The device purifiers water and separates it from oil, he said.
“What I can provide is a technology that is available immediately, a technology that will allow rigs to resume operation and put people back to work,” Costner said, according to People.com.
Costner is the latest celebrity trying to lend a helping hand to the oil spill.
“Avatar” director James Cameron, an ocean-technology buff, met with scientists and other experts last week in Washington to come up with possible fixes for the leak.
Cameron recently criticized those responsible for trying to cap the geyser flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.
“Over the last few weeks I’ve watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what’s happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don’t know what they’re doing,” he said.
