> Perfect is the enemy of the good.

This saying is not suitable here because unsustainable technology isn't good. It's simply not worth the cost and we are borrowing from the future.

If the venture would be unprofitable up until the point when it would be sustainable would we still push money into it?

I say we should treat any venture that is unsustainable the same way we treat those that are unprofitable. But we don't. We allow unsustainable ventures to carry on without ever becoming sustainable. Which means that it is constantly borrowing (stealing) means from everyone else.
