I don't think we should spend a penny for it. Those companies should pay for the cleanup until it breaks them, or the insurers/reinsurers who'll foot the tab, if it comes to that. If that should happen, they should go into bankruptcy and their assets be sold off to bargain seekers or competitors who will utilize them.
But I do think our govt should be involved in demanding the damn mess be cleaned up quickly, and suing the fuck out of them for indemnity for any state or federal funds used to clean the shoreline. That's not regulation. That's simple assertion of civil rights for redress for trespass and negligence.
