The 737 design has reached its max (heh) potential. There's no more milk to squeeze out from this cow. Boeing has to bite the bullet and design a new plane from the ground up. Surely those billions in tax payer funded military contracts can be invested in R&D.

4 years later around 150 new airplanes are still sitting on the tarmac as the crews fix around 6-7 per month.
It's pretty bizarre to drive past where they store/repair them in Moses Lake and see them all.

Didn't know, are they planes that never sold? Or were grounded? Or just don't have the resources to repair them?

Mostly still grounded planes in need of repair.
There are a few planes that were ordered by Russia and Ukraine that can not be delivered due to the war. There are also a few planes that are unsold.

Not to be the Ackchyually guy here but producing aircrafts unfit for flying already emits a lot of greenhouse gases.

Fake news, these planes are made of renewable materials, such as cardboard and greed.
