Soon it will only be cheaper if you're completely discounting the price paid to the ecosystem. In fact with a full accounting I'd wager it's already cheaper.

How many unique species that evolved over tens of millions of years have been lost forever, in the last 50 years alone, due to clear-cutting in Brazil?

How much clean water and topsoil has been polluted and washed away?

How much carbon has been released? How much suffering from butchered animals?

I really don't know how one can be so flippant about this.
