BP, like any big corporation, is just doing what it thinks is necessary to protect shareholder wealth after a big screw-up(not very successfully, might I add). I've come to expect nothing different from big corporations. It's not about being a responsible neighbor or a good corporate citizen, it's about amassing/protecting shareholder wealth. That's exactly why effective regulation is necessary, particularly with industries with potential for such destruction (environmental or economic).

Beyond Petroleum, indeed.
