Hasn't Lightning been in the works for 4+ years? Is it actually progressing towards usability? I remember hearing about it during the 2017 speculation frenzy and block size controversies, when people raised the exact same concerns about Bitcoin transactions being slow, expensive, and carbon-intensive.

It is fully functional with growing adoption (1ml.com), you can try some of the lightning wallets available (https://lightningnetworkstores.com/wallets, personally I'd recommend Phoenix Wallet).

El Salvador is more or less adopting the Lightning Network as a way to enable Bitcoin as legal tender in its borders.
