Good read. Less sensational than the typical US MSM.

Under the US Clean Water Act, BP could be fined up to $4,300 (£3,000) for every barrel of oil gushing into the Gulf. With the disaster said to exceed the Exxon Valdez tanker spill of 1989, which involved 11 million gallons (50 million litres), that would mean a fine of at least $47 billion.
Trivia Question: how much did Exxon get fined for Valdez, and how much did they actually pay or have paid? Google that for me please I'm still trying to catch up on the soccer board

Department of Justice
March 13, 1991
The Attorney General also announced that the two corporate defendants have agreed to plead guilty to federal environmental criminal charges and to pay a criminal fine of $100 million, of which $50 million will be remitted; the State of Alaska will receive $50 million of the $100 million as restitution for restoration of the damaged natural resources. This is, by far, the largest single environmental criminal recovery ever exacted.

Glad to know that the perception of the Fed. Gov't is still the key thing on his mind.
