Personally I feel that instead of penalizing all of the oil companies they need to just go after BP and Transocian.
Since they we know they cut corners shut down all of their wells until they get inspected and any deficiencies repaired.
That way there is a very noticable difference in profit between cutting corners and doing things right, and it shouldn't have as much effect on fuel prices in the long run. Just a short term bump.
