US announces record oil and gas pollution penalty against Marathon Oil.

U.S. officials on Thursday announced a $241 million settlement with Marathon Oil (MRO.N), opens new tab over alleged air pollution violations at dozens of the company's oil and gas facilities on a North Dakota Indian reservation, saying it was part of an ongoing crackdown.
The settlement includes a record penalty and environmental equipment upgrades. President Joe Biden's administration has ratcheted up enforcement in the oil and gas sector to fight climate change and to counter pollution, particularly in poor and minority communities.

    This is the way..all polluters should be held responsible for the pollution they cause and heavily penalized for it.

            🌍💚more of this needs to happen, truly a turning point when the cost of producing begins to impact and hopefully outweigh the profits.

                  Yah! Polluters must pay. This type of litigation from different countries is really encouraging.
