I don't think anyone disagrees that our current system has flaws, it's just that the switching cost is really, really high, and even that assumes the next system is a lot better.

Also, there's a huge difference between pointing out problems and pointing out solutions.

Climate change says the cost of not switching is far greater. Also, that's what phased roll outs are for.

Obviously... But we can't find a solution without first defining and understanding the problem.

Addressing climate change wasn’t even on your wish list.
