Looks like there is a $75 million cap on the amount a oil company has to pay for clean up. You would hope they would step up to the plate and pay whatever it cost to clean up the mess but you never know. I think I read that they had alread paid out $40 some million and thats nowhere near what it's proably going to take.

They are trying to up the $75 million cap now.

Also heard that if a hurricane did pop up and push inward to the coast that it could possibly carry oily rain into a few inland states. Now that would be bad.
