Your taxes already go towards this.
That’s how governments leverage capitalism to placate the people. Grants for green energy initiatives.
Private companies get free money for taking some amount of risk because they are likely to profit massively from it.

Kairos is getting free money (grants & tax breaks) and profits from this. Google is extremely likely (can’t find a source) to be getting free money for this

Companies EXIST to extract profit.
Of one of the worlds most successful companies is doing this, it’s because “line goes up”.

I’d prefer this happend so that “humans survive”.
But “humans don’t die faster” is fine for now.

(I guess “humans” means “poor humans”. As in anyone that doesn’t outright own 2 homes.)
