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.

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.
