PCB clean -up costs = billions

And the question is who pays? The polluter? I reckon there's a fair bet that they won't; it'll be us. They've profitted in part because they were given a licence to poison the biosphere and their clean-up costs were not included in their costs -rather those costs have been externalised to the rest of us. Yet another pointer to why it is important to find mechanisms to internalise such costs. It's partly what the EU directives about taking back fridges etc are aimed to do, I think. So a step in the right direction.
