I agree. Disaster readiness and oversight to prevent future catastrophes is a public sector responsibility. While the private sector provides employment and necessities, it's unrealistic to expect them to do business in a manner that is in the best interests of the public when their primary focus is profitability.
That said, I'm sure BP regrets the incident more than anyone.
