this post seems to be used for strategic messaging to boost Bloomberg's current campaign:
> Michael R. Bloomberg, the founder and majority stakeholder of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News, has committed $500 million to launch Beyond Carbon, a campaign aimed at closing the remaining coal-powered plants in the U.S. by 2030 and slowing the construction of new gas plants.
this kind of thing makes the reporting feel questionable. A shame because the message is really important.
- TheGallopedHigh 7y agoThe point still holds water though
- imtringued 7y agoThat sounds to me like virtue signalling. Shutting down both coal and gas is wishful thinking. Those gas plants are needed as an energy storage mechanism.
- thinkcontext 7y agoIts a disclaimer so that readers know that the owner of the publication has a significant point of view on the subject.
