Execs lose billions of dollars and there are no repercussions. For example: Microsoft bought github for $7.5 billion. Eventually that will be marked down as a "writedown" for $7 billion, because Github isn't worth nearly what Microsoft paid for it. Essentially the executives wasted $7.5 billion. So, losing a $500 million court case is nothing. GE just did a writedown of $23 billion. There are no ramifications for the executives, but the stockholders get the shaft.
Don't worry. Our species is unlikely to survive five more years anyway. But Musk is going to take us all to Mars on his holy rocket. That is, once he figures out how to build a $35k electric vehicle and his tunnel system is complete.
Agriculture is about 9% of emissions. Transportation is 28% and electricity production is another 28%. So you typing on your computer is directly funding it; keystroke by keystroke.
You millenials are funny. Every time you read something you think it is new and novel. It isn't. People have been talking about changing steel production for decades. In fact, some of it is electrified. And it didn't require a "start up" and millions in VC funding to do it. You guys also think that switching out from coal/gas/etc is easy, because you haven't actually lived in reality yet.
There aren't any. That is why you shouldn't move energy long distances. It isn't efficient. The idea of electrifying everything is comical, but it is the new hip thing to do because people think electricity is produced by fairy dust.

The people working at Amazon are making "well over $100k". And the VRE goes waaay out in the suburbs. Give us a break.

Not sure what you are talking about. They are generating billions of dollars of revenue and profits. What do you think their true calling is?

Unless their rockets are going to take us to Mars and get us off this rock stuck in a gravity well, they are useless.
The US is the #2 manufacturing country in the world. That is why we have such high CO2 emissions. It really isn't that hard to understand.
I never understood why people think game-playing is a measure of intelligence.
Yeah, really. What would happen if the Russians obtained these samples?
But this time technology will not improve, because there are physical limits.
Wow. Too bad there is no where else they can upload their music.
Rural Americans have no concept of the real world. They think they are "independent" yet rely on the infrastructure provided by a wealthy country.
That is a real bummer. Where will I get my minimalist dubstep alt-electronica music now?
Why only Android? You don't think Apple bends of backward to accommodate law enforcement?
Sure I do. It sure is nice.
Nope!
I already have one. It is called FlexPei. https://www.royole.com/flexpai
Yes. That is what I said.
This was pretty cool the first ten times companies did it.
Lots of companies claim a lot of things when they are trying to get funding. So probably not.
Agriculture is about 9% of emissions. Transportation is 28% and electricity production is another 28%. So you typing on your computer is directly funding it; keystroke by keystroke.
That is what makes it suspicious. Sounds like the hype machine is in full effect and they are trying to attract investors.
If you truly believe that, go and build it.
Exactly. People need to join reality.
