Because the harm has already been done and cannot ever be repaired, not by you, not by BP, not by the government, not even by God. I'd invite you to come visit us in New Orleans and fill your lungs with the benzene and toluene your good news has generated; to pick your way amongst the corpses on our once lovely beaches (just be sure you wear your hazmat suit!); and to talk to some of the fishermen who for generations lived happily and prosperously on the Gulf's bounty (I'm pretty sure there must be a few who haven't committed suicide yet), if for no other reason than that our economy desperately needs your tourism dollars - you'd be amazed how few people want to spend their vacations visiting a toxic waste site. But all that might bring you down and dampen your enthusiasm for your good news. And, god knows, we wouldn't want anyone to have to feel badly about their energy gluttony that brought about this catastrophe. Nope, nothing to see here, move along, just a minor blip, certainly nothing to be alarmed about, everyone just go home and turn on every light in the house, crank the a/c with the windows open, and pump some more gas into your gas guzzler!
