Google Head Calls Trump Admin’s Climate Denialism “Fantastic”
www.levernews.com
Google CIO praised Interior Secretary Doug Burgum for slamming the “climate extremist agenda” and sayings data centers should be powered by coal, gas, and nuclear.

I’ll note that the article as originally published contains a typo; Ruth Porat is the CIO at Google, not the CEO.

    Dooming your children to ecological collapse but whatever at least your share price goes up.

      Share price doesn’t even go up.

      Coal energy hasn’t been cost efficient in over a decade. Natural gas is barely keeping under wind and solar (both of which have been buoyed by the artificially high retail electricity prices produced by the gas cartels). Nuclear doesn’t break even for nearly a decade, due to the enormous upfront construction costs.

      This isn’t a fiscal policy, it is a political strategy. Suck off Trump’s inside circle in order to win his endorsement for future government contracts.
