You can safely rack up profits by polluting the environment, then file voluntary bankruptcy to "preserve the value of the business".

Costs are socialized but the profits are private.

"The study from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences came from a period of winter air pollution in 2017 and showed that the plume from the U.S. Magnesium refinery along the Great Salt Lake produced 'emissions of chlorine and bromine, known as halogenated compounds, [and] were significant contributors to the persistent winter brown clouds,'" Fox 13 reported.

And, while the report is now eight years old, its author, Carrie Womack, said the emissions of chlorine have not shown any significant decline in the last five years.

Key U.S. Magnesium environmental study findings:
  • Models showed that chlorine and bromine emitted by the refinery were responsible for 10-25% of the area's particulate matter during pollution episodes.
  • Winter pollution levels of PM 2.5 in the Salt Lake Valley exceed national air quality standards an average of 18 days per year.
