BP said there aren't sufficient stockpiles of other dispersants available. That's a lie of course but the EPA said "oh, okay then go ahead with the toxic dispersant."
Each of the five states have warehouses stockpiled with tons of better dispersants but BP doesn't want to use those. They want to use corexit because they profit from corexit.
