Imagine you walking alone in a beach eating chips. You wouldn't just throw the empty bag into the beach, would you? Even though nobody sees you, the sea is vast, and the chance that throwing it or not would make any difference to any living human is close to zero. It's a matter of principle. I believe it's the same to people like Moroun. They didn't get rich by passing up opportunities to invest, and the very thought of leaving an asset to slide away, when it could still generate more profit, is offensive to people like them. Whether they actually need the profit is beside the point. It's a matter of principle.
