BP gulf oil spill

This oil spill has been one huge disaster against our oceans, wildlife and already struggling economy. This will take years to clean up. I really feel that BP should be completely held accountable, not just for the cost of cleaning up the spill but also for the cost to fully repair the damage to the local communities and the enviroment. I read somewhere that under current law, financial liability for oil companies is capped at 75 million....are they kidding me?? This liability cap definitely needs to be lifted and these companies need to be held responsible for their carelessness and causing damage to our planet. The gulf oil disaster is a tragedy of epic proportions to say in the least. This has to be a wake up call for congress to do more to protect our enviroment and our economy from the huge price of our heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Will this madness ever end?? We can only hope this disaster will open everyone's eyes and help gain appreciation for our precious planet.
