People have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Piecing together information from the thousand or so cameras that see you everyday is a violation of the 4th Amendment if sold to the police or otherwise is acting on the direction of the police. They need a warrant and Chatrie v. United States is only the beginning of how privacy violating tech companies are going to get slapped down.

And coal doesn't get an even bigger indemnity?

Short answer is No, they don't. That said, I agree with everything you said about coal and it is a problem. I'd add that the brine from fracking for gas also contains radioactive particles and is used to damp down dirt roads for dust control. Both are a huge problem.

Coal plants spew fine particles, they spew lead and heavy metals, they have put 100x (likely 1000x) more radio active particles in to the atmosphere than all nuclear plants in the USA ever have.

You're 100% right about that. These are naturally occurring isotopes which are supposed to be in the ground where nature put them. I agree that the coal industry should also receive the same scrutiny that the Nuclear industry does for controlling these materials.

If your code doesn't compile in Rust just wrap it with unsafe { }
Hacking around and doing it the wrong way is much easier than figuring out how to get a complicated data structure through the borrow checker and value** lifetimes.

** I think of Rust values as objects in the general sense.
