The Insure Our Future report singled out Lloyd’s of London Ltd ... insures 10 mines producing 22.8% of US coal output. Zurich insures two mines producing 4.9% of US output, while Swiss Re insures one mine producing 3% of output, according to the report.

I heard that insurance companies are pulling out of regions impacted by wildfire and flood. Neat they're still doing the otherside of it though.

I'm also for paying more. But lots aren't. Especially because they can't survive currently. On the current system it does not work. Worker reformer has to happen alongside it. I can only afford to buy eco products because of my current situation. When that changes I will be going back to cheap. Because I cannot afford that luxury.

My country uses very little coal. But steel and food and everything else uses coal and all sorts. It's impossible to separate them

Then don't make them pay. Have corporations foot the bill and ban them from passing the prices along to the consumer.

Do you have an example of such an iron clad piece of legislation?
