It is an embarrassing failure that it took three years from when these spills were first reported till California regulators hit the oil companies with fines and such small amounts Chevron can pay in pocket change. People should be in jail.

@vaskaraeca Ecocide penalties are a joke to these corporations. They consider these penalties just a cost of being able to keep doing their mass crimes against humanity & environment. Until some of these criminals actually do serve prison time - I don't expect this to change much.

In Canada, ecocidal corps often declare bankruptcy to avoid paying for cleanup & legal costs. Then pop back up, under new corp names & govt continues to take their lobbyist bribes & giving them new permits. CORRUPT.
