Guardian, UK - Vermont
is poised to pass a groundbreaking measure forcing major polluting
companies to help pay for damages caused by the climate crisis, in a
move being closely watched by other states including New York and
California. Modeled after the Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund program, which forces companies
to pay for toxic waste cleanup, the climate superfund bill would charge
major fossil fuel companies doing business within the state billions of
dollars for their past emissions. The measure would make Vermont the first US state to hold fossil fuel companies liable for their planet-heating pollution.

I have no real organized thoughts but I've often commented to others that if / when a Company goes Public, there ought to be certain regulations required of them. One would be the Salaries and other compensation received by management (regardless of their hourly wages paid to labor). Also, some kind of responsibility and monies set aside for cleaning up their physical location if they move or go out of business.
