Considering coal is still 20% of American power, and it’s still legal to mine, sell, and consume, there is nothing wrong with his business other than opinions.

Considering coal is still 20% of American power, and it’s still legal to mine, sell, and consume, there is nothing wrong with his business other than opinions. Democracy has not banned it.
Personally I find working at Google and Meta distasteful because their revenue is generated through massive privacy violations at global scale. It’s more honorable to make money mining coal. At least people want energy.
- huytersd 3y agoPeople also want the insane amount of value Google and its myriad of free(!) services it provides. Most people, especially in the developing world couldn’t give two shits about Google collecting their data to serve them ads in return. Coal is a necessary evil for now. It’s good its being viewed that way until it’s phased out over the next few decades.
