Who is the "they" because as far as I can tell it always seems to be the taxpayer. The fossil fuel company (which is already inherently subsidized by the lack of strong carbon pricing) gets to dump its waste into the atmosphere for free.

And why? something... something.. they would go out of business if they had to pay to clean up their own waste.
