the question is, what's the cheapest way to pay for it

If we asked the Chinese to take back the empties the customers gathering the fist cause could pay for it except that the industries already doing something similar are the oil importers.

But their supply system is arranged so that they clean their sludge off on the way back and most of it gets dumped around Antarctica where nobody sees it.

I have no doubt that a nation once geared up to murdering grandparents, that moved overnight to murdering children would soon come up with some bright ideas.
