Classic neo-liberalism - privatize the benefits, socialize the costs.
Corporations : “We should get to gobble all power with our projects… and you should have the personal responsibility to reduce power usage even though it would - at best - only improve things at the very edges of the margins… and then we can get away with whatever we want.”
Just like with paper straws. You get crappy straws and they hope you feel like you’re helping the environment (even though the plastic straws account for like 0.00002% of plastic waste generated) … meanwhile 80% of the actual pollution and waste being generated by like 12 corporations gets to continue.
Worst part is the racist old bastard probably voted for the orange guy, too.
Just like those who died while on a ventilator throughout 2020 in their barely open (and now probably shuttered) rural hospitals swearing every moment that the vaccine would have been worse… coughing up blood until passing out - never to wake again.
