    The problem is that the planet is burning right now, but we only talk in terms of profits.

    Yeah the fossil fuels industry is “cheaper” because it has a shit ton of subsidies and does not include the environmental cost.

    We have solutions that work right now that we could start to build and maintain while reducing/eliminating the most polluting sources of energy.

    The solutions don’t have to be perfect, they have to be better. And if your only argument is money, then fuck off.

      I agree with you on this sentiment, but it is still an obstacle we have to work around because a huge chunk of the world is going to make decisions based on money. But that’s what things like government subsidies are for.
