2 ex-NFL stars, Troy Aikman and Drew Bledsoe along with Jean-Michel Cousteau, push Whitefish, Montana company’s technology to help clean BP oil spill. Ecosphere Energy Services

"In the Gulf of Mexico today we are faced with a disaster of unprecedented magnitude to our precious seas, shoreline and marine environment," said Jean-Michel Cousteau in a news release announcing his endorsement. "We must embrace nonchemical solutions like the Ecosphere Ozonix http://www.ecospheretech.com/ technology to clean up the damage as soon as possible. I will summon my entire environmental network and capabilities to help this effort and work tirelessly with Ecosphere until the job is completed."

"I know it sounds unusual," said Chad Wold, general counsel and managing member for Ecosphere Energy Services http://www.ecospheretech.com/ , a Whitefish-based company that has developed a nonchemical treatment system specifically built for removing oil and chemicals from water.

"But BP was talking about using ping-pong balls and pom-poms to clean up the oil, so we feel they should at least consider this technology that has been proven to work already."
