Just this week, a Delaware oil refining company applied for taxpayer funding to protect its refinery from rising sea levels brought on by anthropogenic climate change. The company, a subsidiary of PBF applied for public funding to ameliorate damage to its tar sand refinery it claims is under extreme threat from ocean storm surges, rising tides, and increasingly powerful storms. Despite the oil industry driving climate change over the past fifty years, it expects taxpayers to build natural and artificial barriers to protect its infrastructure sitting on the waterfront from climate change. Privatizing the profit while socializing the costs/risks, of course.
