Every economic decision is based on a cost/benefit ratio. Why not our energy economy?
Of course, both sides in the debate would have to agree that human benefit is worth any sort of cost.

If they took one-tenth of the money that has been wasted by the government and dumped it into fusion research and securing sources of yttrium (needed for hi-temp super-conducting magnets used in fusion) we would be a lot further down the road on something that will revolutionize energy production, doesn't produce greenhouse gases nor has a radioactive by-product.
As it says in the article, "Ultimately, disagreement about climate change is not about data but about values". I agree. Some will place disproportionately high value on net-zero at the expense of everything else. Others will place a disproportionately high value on cost at the expense of everything else. There has to be a sensible middle-ground where those and other factors can co-exist.
