abide by international restrictions on carbon emissions and force
American companies to pay royalties to a United Nations body.

I like this bit of trivia from the Wikipedia article above - In a 2005 interview on German news TV channel N24, Star Wars creator George Lucas was asked to say the famous sentence "May the Force be with you." The
