I admit, I am not quite a fan of the US, mainly because of its environment agenda and the way it does things in the international sphere. But anyway, I guess that is the politics of the country which in no means reflects what the whole country is. Think of California with good old Arnie Schwarzengger and all the benefits to the environment he is promoting.
Anyway, as you probably know, court cases where people/organisation get to pay huge amounts of money because of what they have done is quite a big deal in the US. Remember Erin Brokovich? Now I read there is this US electricity producer that has been ordered by court to install $4.6 billion in equipment to sharply reduce emissions at coal-fired power plants.
Now that is truly applying the polluter pays principle!
