Hypothetically, when pollution removal becomes a logistical issue, how will it affect technological progress?

Forget present biases, how does society change when waste pollution becomes merely a business cost?

What technological achievements are presently limited by the morality of environmental destruction?

Putting morality into solutions doesn't work.

What a ridiculously useless and distracting comment stemming from ignorance on the origins of morality. Even secular morality originates from some manner of cultural common good.

In this case, I'm obviously alluding to the morality associated with environmentalism, which acts as an umbrella for why anyone cares about the destruction of an external resource: self-interest.

I don't really understand what you mean by that.
