have we managed to pass any laws to stop these companies from saving a few bucks to not manage their methane emissions? no.

i think its because we have actually internalized this idea as a society.




The idea that corporations should regulate their own behavior without the threat of force/punishment? I agree. Self-regulation is a thing you lobby for in order to prevent actual regulation.
