They wouldn’t. I think I’m coming to terms with the thought that all the talk of making polluters pay has just been there to manufacture consent for the extraction by calming the population that it’ll be taken care of. Kinda like the drcades-long plastic recycling campaigns that resulted in barely making a dent. It’s a terrible thought but perhaps if more people come to terms with it we’d demand different social contract for such economic activities.

If we never make polluters pay their fair share, why would they think they’ll ever have to? ffs
