I don't care much about any form of payment here (as it seems that large penalties hardly ever get enforced after they made their iterations through the courts) but please, why can't they just cleanup their mess?
Monetary penalties are one of the only ways to communicate with these large multinationals the system calls "people".

Chevron's subsidiary completed environmental remediation required by the Ecuadorian government and signed a settlement agreement with the government in 1995 releasing it from all environmental claims.
Seems like hardly anyone here cares about finding out what the truth is. They just want to collectively rage at the oil industry.
