Which leads me to the very obvious question.. Why is it you seem to think it ok that tax payers have to flip the bill for these spills? Why are you against these companies being fined when their actions due to negligence help destroy the environment leaving tax players to deal with the problems?
I'm all for "responsible big oil, not so much for negligent putting profits ahead of everything else big oil.. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?

again, I pointed out the dichotomy of your roadwarrior lifestyle and your bitching about big oil to the extreme you do. It's not hard to see.
Also, I think your argument is misplaced based on your comments here. Your issues lie with the government creating good regulations and enforcing them. Oil corps have to operate within the law while still working toward that bottomline. if they can skirt a regulation, they will. that's how business runs.
