Since the industrial revolution, industry has not been responsible for the side effects of their products. They are able to be profitable because it's future generations that will have to foot the bill for handling the waste and the side effects of that waste.
Current generations are footing the bill for some past industry behaviors, but the worst is yet to come. And we see it coming. But in the name of profits, we're doing virtually nothing about it.
All in the name of capitalism.
