In my opinion its more of a "as long as we use coal we might as well try to make it as clean as possible". "Clean coal" is better than dirty coal... Even if its still dirty.

Why do tickets for some sports teams sell on the open market for many times their face value? Because some people believe it's worth an insane amount of money to get them. Good games will command good prices. If a developer makes a truly good game, he can charge a fair price for it and receive it (I usually don't pay $50 for a game, but if it has an amazing demo and good reviews I'll go for it once in a while).

More Claims From NSA Whistleblower Russell Tice 271
eldavojohn writes "Russell Tice, former NSA employee & whistleblower, has revealed yet more details claiming that wiretapping was combined with credit card data to target civilians. He also suggests the CEOs of major companies hold the truth: 'To get at what's really going on here, the CEOs of these telecom companies, and also of the banking and credit card companies, and any other company where you have big databases, those are the people you have to haul in to Congress and tell them you better tell the truth.' Will Congress follow his suggestions?"
This adds to information revealed by Tice last week that the wiretaps targeted journalists in particular.
