I take an optimistically cynical view of this pattern. As a rule, we tend to solve things wrong the first few tries. Carbon offsets and credits and the policy and technology and market pricing soup is going to be an absolute shit show before it can hope to get past that point, so on with the shit show. First the visionaries over promise, then the con artists do, then the marketers do, then sales, then product, then engineering does, and then it works.
