Summary:
- The article discusses the problem of "sunk costs" in fossil fuel infrastructure, which refers to the money already invested in things like oil rigs, pipelines, and power plants that run on fossil fuels.
- These sunk costs make it difficult to transition away from fossil fuels, as companies and governments are reluctant to abandon the investments they've already made.
- The article suggests that these sunk costs could "sink us" by making it harder to address the climate crisis and move towards renewable energy sources.
