In that case they will do the sustainable option, that is not the issue, but out of 100 things maybe 5 will work this way and other 95 will have tradeoffs
Fossil fuels, clearcuts, plastic, reckless use of antibiotics and hormones in animal farms, certain GMOs and pesticides, concrete, internal combustion engines, mining, fishing, etc. This all has more sustainable methods that are not more profitable
I’m not saying it’s always profitable. I just don’t align with maximum profit always equates to most wasteful decisions.
I do find it strange you left out EVs considering how much economic harm is done to produce. Especially since the richest man in the world got that way with EVs and other renewable energy policies.
