Google Is So Very Green That Their CO2 Pollution Has Risen 51% In Just 6 Years - Thanks, AI!!!

7. Oh, I think it's a joint venture by big tech and big fossil . . . .

Since we "must " have AI or we'll "lose the race" to other countries who'll then find a faster and more efficient way to eliminate human beings from the workforce, what better way to keep the old energy game alive?

After all, if the only way forward - i.e. Expand Shiny Tech That Wise People Inform Us Is Vital Too Duh Fewchure - is to build out even more natural gas and bring coal power back online, what energy company or utility is going to object?

Imagine being a utility company offered another five to seven years of operations by stock-rich tech bros. Most coal plants don't even make money for utilities until the last ten years or so of their useful lives because they're capital-intensive and take decades to pay off. What utility executive or board would pass that up?

Same for natural gas exploration and pipeline companies. Sure, they'll have to invest more in green paint but so what else is new? And bubbly stock prices all around - huzzah!!!
