Multiply your argument by a million people (some of whom run mining farms) and that's when we have a problem.

Subsidized energy is the problem. Or if it is yours to generate it, the permit to pollute for that energy against the public benefits

If you burn dozens of kilo-watts, and it's not just you but many others too, and you're all doing it in a way that harms society / the global population much more than it benefits us all, it very much is my and everyone's business.

(Or, in other words: It's my lighter, and I'm paying for the gasoline, so why is it any business of yours what I'm setting on fire with it?)
