Kevin Costner will be on Capitol Hill Wednesday. The Oscar-winning actor is expected to testify before lawmakers about his ideas for helping clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Costner and his brother, who is a scientist, have spent years developing a device they say can separate oil from water.

The machine, named Ocean Therapy, sucks in large quantities of polluted water, pulls out the oil then spits clean water back into the sea.

Costner, who is known for his roles in “Field of Dreams and “Waterworld” began working on the technology after the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989.
The 55-year old has spent about 26-million-dollars on the Ocean Therapy project.
