Erm, I think the idea is that Mr FlyingFans pays Mr LargeFixedFan not for the forethought of having built a big white whirring thing (BWWT), but in order that he build another BWWT; on the assumption that he wasn't going to anyway. Thus the new BWWT reduces even more the need for fuel oil and reduces as much CO2 than Mr FlyingFans could have done by staying at home.

At least, I THINK that's how it is meant to work. At some point, I assume, you run out of places to put the BWWT so you have to find a way to reduce your emmissions in order to only need to pay people to build Small White Whirring Things.
