Should we allow people to use resources really, really slowly? Like can you buy natural gas wells and instead of capping them (an expensive operation required by regulation when you're done) just extract a tiny amount of gas? The story in https://www.bloomberg.com/features/diversified-energy-natural-gas-wells-methane-leaks-2021/ https://www.bloomberg.com/features/diversified-energy-natura... was fascinating because it's not clear that that company has done anything illegal, just found a very profitable niche.
