Thats a very good point. What if BP decides it isnt worth it to clean up the mess they made and just go out of business,pack up their equipment and take off. What happens then? I heard something about this on my car radio yesterday that BP is saying if the American government expects them(BP) to pay about $70million for the damage and clean up that they cant afford that and will go out of business. So I can see that coming.
