Better yet, nuclear. It's the lowest CO2 output per GWh generated, and it's incredibly reliable - having power when you need it, rather than when it happens to be available - is a big requirement for any industrial process.

You ever see what happens to a centenarian when they fall down?

They exploded during the pandemic, because they were about the only game in town for most shopping. Now that the world is opening back up, and regular stores are back in the mix, Amazon's Government-granted monopoly is going away.

Wood breaks down over years or decades; this is days for plastics.

ICE-9 is now PET-9

Interestingly, the weather report is often quite correct; long term climate predictions are far from accurate.

So, what can a "General purpose computing device" from 2006 do, that a modern cellphone cannot? Phones of these days emulate full computers (look at Samsung's DEX for example). Stop being pedantic, and use your common sense.

So AC was right - you have to use WebKit which covers just about everything in the browser. In other words, you get to skin Safari, and that's about it. And most tech types recognize that phones today are more powerful than laptops/PCs of 10 years ago, so your argument about "limited functionality" is quite bogus.

Alternatively stated: you can write your own browser as long as it's a window-dressing UI on top of Apple's browser.

Stubbed toe? No. But gunshot victims? Yes.

CPI also adjusts for quality of a product, so that if the Government deems your consumer electronics are up 30% in price, but are 35% better, then costs are actually down there, and offset the overall inflation rate. In other words, companies competing to offer better quality products at the same price is considered anti-inflationary.

And nuclear is even lower CO2 output per GWh.

That's not really an achievement. It's one thing to have power intermittently, it's another to have it when you need it. Even wind-happy Britain is getting rational and moving hard to nuclear, for at least 25% of their power needs. And in the big scheme of things, nuclear is cleaner than solar or wind when you look at power out, and total costs (construction, running, and decommissioning).

Wind is great - when the wind blows. When it doesn't? Nuclear for electric generation, use intermittents like wind and solar for things like desalination, or other tasks that can be done when power is available, not when people need the power.

Decommissioning costs are figured out up-front, or you don't get a license to make the plant in the first place. Unlike other sources, nuclear is required to provide all those costs, at Government estimated rates.

Nuclear is the ONLY sensible solution going forward, as it's about the safest, and it IS the lowest greenhouse gas output source there is.

Break up companies when they get "too big"? Do you have any clue how expensive it is to design, fab and ship new chips? It's something that you need hundreds of millions of dollars to do - which means valuations well above $5 billion. So I guess we can kill innovation scaling altogether. By the time a company gets big enough to actually scale to hundreds of millions of consumers - kill it!
