You ever have a room so dirty that “tidying it up” a bit every day would never cut it so you have to take a whole day to pull everything out of the room, load half the shit into contractor bags, and rearrange all your furniture?

I think it’s that same mentality, fossil fuel is so baked into our economy the idea of changing it seems daunting to the point I think some people genuinely think that building a new economy from scratch is just easier. Now doing it ON MARS is fucking stupid but I get where the logic comes from.
