Why, given 20 years since the Exxon Valdez oil spill, did BP not put more time and money in to preparing for another leak? If the people of the Gulf Coast ask, I'm sure the Yup'ik would remind them of Tony Hayward's words in 2009 when he said BP's "primary purpose was to generate profit for our shareholders" and that "our primary purpose in life was not to save the world."
