Just wondering, why does ecology drop more when oil drilling is not subsidised compared to when it is subsidised? I would think the removal of subsidies would reduce oil drilling and be more beneficial for the ecology. Just wondering.

True, I'll make so edits.

But my thoughts here were that, if the government subsidies oil drilling companies that use ecological methods of extraction (and/or fines those who violate) it could lead to an increase of ecology, but not by much.

Ohhh I see, my mistake then. You may want to clarify its to incentivise environmental practices then, otherwise people may think its just subsidies to promote oil drilling in general.
