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
