Taking on debt is profitable if the interest rate is less than the return on investment. I'd rather take on the nuclear waste storage 'debt' (does no real damage if we do it properly, can be paid back later with much more powerful technological resources) than the climate change 'debt' (does real damage now, resulting in permanent loss of some amount of economic growth).
