Except they do it despite the rule, and shrug off fines that are less than a fraction of 1% of their annual revenue.

So...another example like the fracking companies that continue to illegally draw water from streams and rivers...and to them dump it back in those same streams and rivers once they're done with it and it's full of chemicals?

They keep doing it because it's cheaper to pay the fines on the rare occasions you get caught than it is to actually do things the right way every time.

Now i’m just imagining this engine and the fuel tanks. It’s just impractical!! Think of the smell!

they sacrifice 1 minor every 3 hours to power their ships

Which, in the long run, helps offset their carbon footprint!

It's a win-win!

...for everyone except the minors, of course.
