In the environmental front, we have protests over the continuing need for pipelines to transport oil and gas. Simply put, a pipeline make economic sense as it involves no humans to carry the liquid from place to place. So simple and easy. Except, the pipeline breaks and this causes problems of spilled oil. Well there is a simply idea to solve both concerns. The people building any new or future pipeline must agree to a new law. And the law is simple, any environmental damage clean up will ignore the corporate veil such that any front corporations and executives are liable until such amount as the cost to repair and restore the damage is paid for. This way creating front corporations to protect against liabilities, from spills and clean up will be forced up the food chain to the people who are profiting from the pipeline itself, including directors, CEO and all listed managers will be liable for all damages.   The next pipeline to be made will have those assurances built into them. I guarantee you that once this new law is passed there will never be another pipeline built because no matter how they lie about pipeline safety, the people who will suffer are not only those who are directly affected by the spill, but everyone connected to it. Under those conditions, oil and gas will return to being transported the safe way.
