tar sands are the new beauty queen. BP never had to pay for the Exxon Valdez disaster (BP's oil but BP didnt have the regulation booms in place on the beaches even though they claimed they did. When Valdez hit Lord Browne called up his buddy George Bush and worked it out - meaning the taxpayer paid). Acting with impunity has turned out to have a massive social cost, but the current regulatory system is ineffective. when the GOM coastal communities start to riot over lost fishing and tourism income, health problems, plummeting real estate, bankrupt hotels and souvenir shops and restaurants then maybe something will be done but its already too late.
