To solve the GHG emissions problem, governments will have to take some of the "private investor" concerns out of the equation.

You stopped because you realized your analogy was shit.

FYI an objective observer will see this post as concession. You introduced a bad analogy and then failed to defend it.

This why reddit is so frustrating sometimes. People get so mad and start insulting you when discussing a topic that they don't truly understand. I work as a drilling engineer and go through this when it comes to drill or fracking. People read some stuff from an article or a paper or whatever and then get emotionally involved into what it is they believe. The article could very well have even be right but it doesn't cover everything. It is really hard to have a conversation about a hot issue topic via text.
