No amount of value, in the economic sense, will solve climate change.

Well, somebody must buy solar panels, batteries, (nuclear reactors) and finance the whole research process.

While “economic value” =/= “solving climate change” without enough tax revenue costly transitions are impossible.

Very capitalistic reasoning.

It's revealing that for some, it's easier to imagine Earth without life than Earth without capitalism.
