Kevin Costner takes on the real "Waterworld" villains!

Isn't it ironic? Kevin Costner, the star of a 90's film where the character single-handedly took on a villainous group who was polluting and abusing the planet's oceans, is currently in the middle of a real life battle against a similar opponent, the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Today Costner addressed members of Congress advocating his solution for the massive oil spill. He and his team at Ocean Therapy Solutions have created a large centrifugal machine which is capable of removing 99% of crude oil from water (they claim). Congress is currently evaluating viable cleanup options and it seems Costner's machine is at the top on the list.

"We are all at fault here," Costner said. "It's just too easy to blame BP. What we need to do now is come together."
