> For example: Exxon mobil profits in 2017 were 19.7 billion. Fukushima cleanup costs exceed 180 billion.

So you could cleanup one of the worst "spills" in history with a mere 10 years of a single company's profits?

That sounds perfectly OK.




Even better, it would have been possible to avoid that spill with that money and you'd probably have enough left over for a healthy profit afterwards.
