Explosions: No inspections because Politicians get donations for cutting budgets of regulators.

And the story repeats itself again in the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster, where the industry had such a cozy relationship with the government and regulators that the company was actually allowed to fill out their own safety inspection reports!
When it comes to buying political influence, no other industry is more powerful than the dirty energy industry.  They consistently spend more on lobbying and campaign donations than any other industry, and as a result, they are able to write their own rules, consumers be damned.
