    It’s such a stupid choice. Saving money in the shortest term - all the way between the CEOs office making the decision, to the PR person… And then we’re all cooked.

    “Oh but we don’t want to be a large bank lf solar panels, wind and batteries… That would be too expensive”.

    The governments who allowed these companies to make the choice should be raked over the coals.

      See my other comment. It doesn’t make sense to buy other companies energy infrastructure

        Right “big company can’t find a green powered data center” doesn’t really bouy anyone’s spirits. What are you doing here again? Supporting billionaires and climate change.

        What an odd goal to spend your time on.
