Re: BP Oil Spill
And Bond makes a very important point: Why was BP out so far, drilling so deep in the first place? The government wouldn't let them drill in shallower, safer waters. Why to they have a damages cap? They needed to give industry a reason to take the added risk of drilling so deep and far from shore.
It's a giant cluster-fuck of terrible choices made by both government and private industry.
