Rubee, thank you for writing. Your response reads like a CHATGPT response. AI responses fail to provide simple especific answers to yes or no and why questions, giving sometimes contradictory statements in the long answer, in my experience and often I have to correct them so they correct the record from the true sustainability point of view.
The critical problem solving impossibility theorem indicates that we should not expect non-transition tools to solve a clean market problem as they create a permanent market failure driving their pollution production problem and the need to shift and transition comes only just before or after system collapse. The market failure do not provide incentives to close the pollution reduction technology gap and no incentives to set up a proper transition market tool that makes pollution reduction profitable and no incentive to set up the proper clean market transition goal in the first place to determine with transition tool is proper to set up and which pollution reduction technology gap we need to give priority to close. They manage the consequence of the problem, not the root-cause of the problem, and hence, they operate under remaining pollution production gap problems.
Generally no — non-transition (patch) instruments can reduce symptoms locally but typically fail to rewire innovation directions, institutional incentives, and capital allocation needed for systemic decarbonization; theoretical and empirical work (e.g., directed-technical-change literature) argues that transition-oriented policies (R&D redirection, industrial strategy, coordinated pricing) are required to reach a clean economy at scale.
The answers is simply NO as the problem continues as we manage it/pacthes and to solve a critical problem such as the environmental problem or the poverty problem or the socio-envirfonmental problem you need a clear transition goal(eg which clean market), you need to close the pollution problem by closing the pollution reduction technology gap problem so you can generate the no polluting resources you need to permanently substitute the polluting ones and to do this you need a proper critical problem transition tool linked one to one with the type of clean market we are transtioning too, and you find all those conditions in what I called the CRITICAL PROBLEM SOLVING POSSIBILITY POINT, which is the topic expanded in my coming article on the topic.
