That said, a colleague of mine is now running his own lab on the East Coast (US) and running seminars and workgroups on AI. The water's fine, come on in.
1. Carbon taxes exist worldwide, and in many states as well. By purchasing green energy, you lower your corporate taxes, and pay less when you sell or buy your products and/or services.
2. Renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels. Yes, all fossil fuels. In some locations, there are artificial subsidies that distort the market to make it appear they are cheaper, but when you allocate all costs to the firms, including their employees and customers, renewables are still cheaper even after the artificial anti-capitalist subsidies and exemptions that fossil fuels receive. No, it's 2018, not 1978, so stop pretending your old metrics work.
3. Reliable supply lines. With fossil fuels subject to disruptions in the supply chain, renewables owned by a corporation will not only power reliably, a mix of renewables resists things like oil shocks, and you can frequently store or sell the generated renewable energy to others, or use it periodically. This reduces your tax impact for buildings, removes your need for trucks to deliver fuel, and allows you to be nimble and efficient.
4. Positive social impacts - both from consumers and from trading partners. It's a lot easier to make trade deals with other firms and other nations if you have green energy sources, since it shows up better on the purchasers' balance sheets - this allows even oil companies to greenwash their appearance to be "green" by purchasing goods and services from subcontractors and thus lower their emissions rates, which lets them bid for contracts worldwide at a premium. No, nobody cares about your failed fossil fuel religion.
5. Utilization of lower cost buildings and warehouses at a more optimal profit/loss ratio. When you replace old aircon on warehouses with modern solar/wind powered fans and ventilation, you reduce spoilage and cut your energy use purchased from external sources. This allows giant warehouses to become net profit centers, not just money sinks.
It's today, not last century. Adapt. Business already is.
I'll tell that to the people still unable to live there, and the smarter people who replaced the vacated areas and towns with wind and solar farms and some veggies that leach such radioactive things from the soil.
My iPhone 8 works perfectly fine, with it's maxed out memory.
I'll buy the redo of the iPhone 5 that became the SE that will become the iPhone 12 SE, and only be advertised in Asia, but sold in the US if you order it.
When the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake ( The Big One ) puts you dozens of feet under water and / or the debris from disintegrated buildings, we in the south will enjoy seeing how you "superior" people in Seattle deal with that challenge.
Economic studies show that rich cities rebuild and become even richer after cataclysmic events, whereas low income areas lose after such events.
Soon their more efficient, less expensive countries will be able to outcompete the inefficient places that have not moved to low cost green energy and low cost LEDs.
The south can continue to use Kerosene and Whale Oil, of course.
Seriously, pay attention to who was the population studied for this paper, and then think about what that means.
As an example, if I did a study comparing different addiction rates, I'd find anything can be addictive, but alcohol is frequently more addicitive. I'd also find certain genetic backgrounds increased one's inability to process alcohol, whereas others were able to cope very easily with moderate ingestion.
If you're binge drinking, you're doing it wrong.
If you're drinking alcohol by itself, you're probably doing it wrong.

Oh.
Wait.
We did.
Need to do it for Walmart too.
Not on my phone.
Rarely on anything else.
Never automatically logged in.
I think you meant to write Scottish startups.

I still my climate by renewables.
Renewables leave a green stain
The green stain is a warming.
It is by capital that I set renewable investment in motion.
Let the capital flow!
But nobody will ever want more than 640K.
One of my neighbors said that, and since his kids all read books instead of surfing online, he must be right.
We call it a feature.
Except we don't, suckers!
If you're looking for the actual research, you can find it in various places at Washington State University and the University of Washington.
Reality doesn't care about your failed fossil fuel religion.
Nothing to see here.
In space, they can only hear you ....

Because in Seattle traffic laws don't apply to bikes.
Sure they do. I think you meant cars, which blow thru stop signs and red lights here.
Minutes.
It's even faster if you bike or skateboard, by the way.
Still going to be sued by the Washington State Attorney General
I'll tell that to the people still unable to live there, and the smarter people who replaced the vacated areas and towns with wind and solar farms and some veggies that leach such radioactive things from the soil.
Let's just get real, sunshine.
Wait, what?
They did what?
They covered large portions of Japan with radioactivity that will remain there for hundreds of thousands of years?
Hmm.
Of course, the young kids call that Democratic Socialism, but potato potatoh
Read the Wealth of Nations, all seven books, and realize you're living in Crony Capitalism, which he called Mercantalism, and which is doomed to fail.
Just as soon as I feel like it.

We'll just rebuild and become even richer.
Science shows that.
Excellent news!

If a tree falls on a road and kills a drunk driver, did he die of alcohol or of driving too fast, or was it tree consumption?
Remember, we all die, but what is the true cause?
It's at healthdata.org in specific or causes of death.
The problem is the reporting systems used are fairly broad categories. So the post's inference may not be the one that scientists would state.
Another location is Vizhub COD.
Those poor unwashed millions of Russian and Iranian bots waiting to be heard.
Hey, I have an idea, he could resign and move there and hear from them all the time!
It is poison.
So is Oxygen.
