Reply to comment by afishda in What happens if the largest owner of oil and gas wells in the US goes bankrupt? by geoxol

This is exactly what happens. The bankrupt subsidiary dissolves leaving the EPA or another government organization to clean up the mess.

We all pay for the cleanup through taxes and the oil companies get all of the benefits through profits and lack of responsibility.
