Apple Announces $300 Million China Clean Energy Fund (bloomberg.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg: The iPhone maker said it's creating the fund to boost the use of renewable energy in its supply chain, which is primarily spread across regions in China. The company and 10 of its key suppliers and manufacturing partners, including Corning Inc., Pegatron Corp., Wistron Corp. and Luxshare Precision Industry Co., will contribute to the fund over the next four years, the Cupertino, California-based company said Thursday in a statement. The money will go toward developing projects totaling a gigawatt of renewable energy in China, Apple said. In 2015, Apple committed to using clean energy in its supply chain and has said it hopes to create 4 gigawatts of renewable energy globally by 2020, an increase from a goal of 3 gigawatts announced earlier this year.

The American government recently is also pushing coal.
And this news article is about Apple investing in renewables in China which hopefully gives renewables in China a boost.

While Apple invests very little in manufacturing outside of China, they have invested a lot in campuses, data centres, software developers, retailers in America and other western cities - all of which are using renewable energy (or at least the usual allocation of renewable energy, an electron is an electron and all that).

There are plenty of good reasons that Apple might not be the company for you, but I don't think the reasons you just gave justifies it.
