Umm yes we do? We factor in these costs to every energy source, at least in our country, and solar is not even remotely cheap.

No you don’t because if you did, fossil fuels would not have been competitive at all.

And if solar isn’t cheaper is you are getting ripped off or you live in a cloudy place or far north.

If we burn fossil fuels at scale for 1000 years, will the planet remain habitatable? Will the human race survive?

Did your country factor that into the costs of fossil fuels?
