Noting that the defense of big oil seems to be that consumers are responsible because they demanded it from oil co's ... but then didn't those companies systematically hide and obfuscate the evidence of what their product was doing -for decades? Mens rea applies to corporate persons, I suspect. When you pretend your product is safe enough in order to carry on selling it, that should be something states can recover costs from.
