In first gulf oil lease auction since spill, BP bids -- and record prices are reached - latimes.com

Much higher regulatory requirements and oversight plus higher costs due to increased safety/risk/environmental requirements and these leases still fetched an all-time record price.

Who will still take the position that the oil industry wasn’t getting a free ride from lax regulation and that oversight stifles the market?
