Why doesn't someone sue an oil company or a car manufacturer for the 
environmental damage they cause through the promotion/production of 
their products.  Couldn't GreenPeace, or some other organization, 
afford to do this.  The organization could act on behalf of both 
humanity and every other species on earth.  What a precedent this 
would set--if a company knowingly produces and promotes a substance or 
product which is in anyway harmful to the biosphere, it would be 
punished for putting all living organisms, including the owners of 
whatever company it is, at risk of damage and/or extinction.

Maybe if the case is won by the environmental group, that group could 
demand that the company it won against release any suppressed patents 
it had and pour money into research and development for clean fuel.

One thing I don't understand is why oil companies haven't 
themselves exploited the environmental movement yet.  If they, right 
now, offered the public a clean burning fuel, they'd corner the market 
and make tons of money.

What do you all think about the "sue an oil company today" idea?
