Holy Luigi!

We need Climate Action. How to nip this in the bud before they even start building the power plant. And not burning, or blowing up. That's bad for the world.

one time carbon cost vs decades of compound carbon interest.

I'll take the lump sum, please.

Did they think what would happen if the gas price goes up and their profitability is completely dependent on that?

Right? That's my thing, look at airlines and their Razer thin margins. They just built this megastructure and can't operate any of it without completely depending on gas prices.

Even without the green aspects no one stopped to think about the return on investment of layering the entire place in solar? 5 years from now? 20?

The red run deregulated Texas Oblast allowed this shit. Kiss the water supplies and eventually the local economy good-bye.

Weren’t they supposed to be carbon neutral by 2030? Sure seems like they’re trending the wrong way

That was just talk

Ah but the never-ending deluge of Just Dance Vance videos is worth it!

Almost every day I have a fight with my gf over her Amazon account. I told her we can not proceed with a meaningful relationship if she doesn't cancel it. Am I the crazy one?

Everything but run them on renewable energy.

Papa trump and his minions need their money

Maybe when Trump is dead and gone, they’ll switch to solar. Solar’s gotta be MUCH cheaper for them in the long run anyway, and frees them of ties to industries known for being exploitative.
