The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Is this a good analogy of the BP oil spill?

if a company builds a sky scraper and after an architecture mistake, bricks keep on falling on the street, and whatever the company tries to do to fis it doesn’t seem to work, at what point would the Government intervene with fixing the problem? what would be the Government’s role? should the foucs be first on fixing the problem before suing the company?
now how would you apply this analogy to the BP oil spill?
