BP basically continues to do whatever it wants to do -- even with "the cleanup" of the worst oil spill in American history...BP wants to use well over a million gallons of the most toxic dispersant and they do it (the company could care less if the EPA or Coast Guard have concerns)...BP is a ruthless cost cutter that is a BIG TIME polluter - and our government allows them to get away with so much too...the $20 Billion fund for Gulf coast victims is kid's stuff compared to the true environmental and economic costs of this historic and ongoing oil spill...Just wait at least a year when we start to see the full impact of the spill (which could easily be more than 10 times larger than the Exxon Valdez spill). Florida's tourism industry alone is over $60 Billion/year. You can't put a price tag on a clean ocean and BP has screwed up BIG TIME...No way to get the company's credibility back...and it may take at least a generation for the Gulf to start to fully recover too.
