    That’s a complicated situation because if not rich people, we’ll see other rich people in the same situation, like I don’t think world’s biggest companies will stop existing anytime soon, even if healthy eco alternatives get bigger investiment in the future.

      It’s not really that complicated; Pigouvian taxes are basic economics. We don’t need more investment in eco alternatives as much as less investment in pollution.
