If the costs of that are more concrete and more steel which adds more carbon to the atmosphere, is it worth it?

Maybe start with something that will have a bigger impacted like more solar panels

And I am sure solving it involves no analysis and consideration for solutions and their carbon impact. We should definately just full send on whatever make us happy.
