two big reasons:

  • we don't have replacement energy sources at scale (this is of course party caused by inflated demand eg. data centers, always-on electronics)

  • energy production is heavily subsidized in that so-called external costs are paid by the public instead of the companies

Until we can both reduce demand and increase supply, while also making corporations pay the cost of the pollution they produce, we're stuck with this shit.

Heroin or other opioids. It's a problem where I live, too.
