There's a better alternative:
1) Invent something relatively cheap to manufacture that, in theory, could save some people some energy when used with lots of planning.
2) Sell to energy companies for "Carbon Credits".
3) Trade in the credits for money.
4) Profit!
...
5) Actually contribute to pollution and energy use by making something pointless.
6) still don't actually plan for how to use less energy or deal with the inevitable pollution we're causing.
