I'm not trying to excuse oil spills, but I think it's dodging responsibility to base our whole lives around drilling a dirty fuel out of the ground and then blame only the company when these happen. Using oil entails some risk that it's going to contaminate the environment, and we are collectively responsible.

Responsibly isn't equally weighted. Regulatory capture and decades of insidious 'education' and advertising also tip the scales. The solution is collective though. Externalities cannot be ignored forever, even if the short sighted grifters die before the world is an uninhabitable waste.
