Indeed, my original comment referenced the transparency reporting that I have grown to appreciate from Apple. I wish more companies did as thorough job showing every piece of the supply chain. I revised the comment because I felt like it wa

I'm optimistic about renewable energy coming online fairly quickly, even optimistic about the transportation sector undergoing a vast transformation with the right pushes. I'm less optimistic about people consuming less. Unless ma
