If we knew how to deal with nuclear waste we would have done so. As of this moment effectively none of the US commercial nuclear spent fuel has ever been properly disposed of. In 77 years it adds up to a lot.
While China's CO2 output is the highest globally, per capita its output is just over half of the US. That's even without considering that much of China's output is as in this article, manufacturing pollution imported from other countries. The bill for this pollution should fall on the country that consumed the manufacturing output.
>the Nokia feature phone business from Microsoft, which had in turn bought the ailing brand in 2014.
No mention that Microsoft sent executive Stephen Elop to dismantle Nokia as its CEO in 2010. Nor that in 2014 as part of the deal to acquire Nokia's phone business leaving the rest of the company to soldier on, Nokia insisted that Microsoft repossess him.
Of how much invested? Published numbers show plans for $80B ai splash. Anybody got to-date numbers? I see $14B on OpenAI and $20B for Nuance Communications. That's $34B sunk.
Also, is this crowing about as reliable as any other marketing babble? They mean to sell this service.

But what if how the world really works differs from the intention of the policy?
Foxconn renames two factories in Zhengzhou to "Vietnam" and "India". Chinese government confirms by assigning territorial sovereignty of the loading docks to the respective countries.
Solar+battery means not having to participate in expensive old dirty energy. The grid can adapt or become nonviable.
When we terminated our Comcast cable internet service we took our mandatory leased equipment to their office and like everyone else took a selfie of us turning it in to the clerk because that's how trustworthy they are. When we terminated CenturyLink it was more fun. You're fired. Why? We got Starlink so you're fired. Hahahahaha.
LOL. When Russia invaded Ukraine they effortlessly hacked and disabled the other Satellite Internet providers (hard bricking the hardware) in the hours before. They also jammed the cellular links and cut the external cables. The only network left standing in the conflict zone was Starlink, and without it we wouldn't know about the Russian atrocities that took place under the cover of that communication blockade. Which led the relevant Ukrainian secretary to reach out to Elon on Twitter and request assistance. Starlink had been waiting for government approval to enable wide availability and interpreted the request as such approval. Within a day semi trucks full of free Starlink ground stations were en route.
Russia has had their top electronic warfare people on the Starlink problem ever since. The only impact they have had was for Elon to thank them for the help on hardening the network against attack.
The goal is to pay for Mars. And they're getting it done.
Biology is the only science in which multiplication means the same thing as division.
