Capitalism is slaved to thermodynamics too hard. We wanna be green? Biomass energy is green. Cut down all the forests and burn them for power! (What? We're not burning coal. This is renewable.) Meanwhile, the actual, durable alternative (nuclear) is off the table because it's too scary and expensive. Also, all those batteries and solar panels are a continuous (fossil fuel consuming) production burden. But I guess that never stood in the way of profit before. Ironically, the most profitable model would be if there was just stuff you could dig out of the ground and use right away that was extremely energy-rich.
