The majority of people in power will operate by the ends justify the means. I've always wondered if this is true, why humanity will not readjust population numbers and where the renewables actually can sustain the population. Seems better for increasing the length in time for humanity to exist on the planet and come up with a solution to energy where the population can progress to infinite. Compared to the alternative outcome of everyone dies by ruining the planet. Maybe it's already too late for humanity and thus people don't care.
