Because it was never about solving the problem, it was about absolution.
Without suffering they won't feel they deserve the absolution they crave, so every solution has some "problem"
- Electric cars still emit particles from the brakes!
- Nuclear reminds me of a scary TV show I saw!
- Solar doesn't let plants grow under them!
- Wind turbines kills birds!
The solution will be to come up with a way this type of person can feel properly absolved. A few decades or centuries ago they accomplished this with just a wooden box and a black robe, but that's not an option anymore. Not because it's better or worse, it just doesn't work today.
This is not a joke, this is a Very Hard problem, and also the one with the higest payoff for society. Can you imagine being able to make these people happy and letting the rest of the world get on with their lives? Golden age. Come on, nerd harder!
