''there's not enough money in the world'' to pay all claims against BP

Should correctly say.. "there's not enough ink to print enough money" to pay all the claims against BP

the Valdez cost $2.5 to $3.5 billion to clean up. the $5 billion punitive damages was cut by a judge to $500 million.

with this disaster we have an Exxon Valdez size spill every 2 to 2 1/2 days.

i agree the cost for destroying 1 or 2 oceans is close to infinite.

various lawyers will try to cap the damages, but that doesn't clean the ocean.
