I agree. As a metaphor, we have to fix the foundation or the house is destined to collapse. Don't get me wrong, clean energy is an important step. I approve of people trying to help, even if that attempt may unfortunately be rooted in personal greed. The problem is people are using that help to obfuscate the root issues, which are hierarchy and capitalism. Ignorance isn't bliss. It's death.
