You don't seem to get it, they do not just say that "they like" green energy - the link tells us that they switched over to 100% renewable energy. Even in China and India!

What I'm saying is that it's due to their business success that they can afford to take this investment. The success that made it possible can't just be toyed around with to suit every idealist's short sighted agenda of "Do more!".

Are they disconnected from every power grid in the world, and using their own solar panels and windmills 100% for everything? Of course not. They're drawing from the same grids that have most of their electricity supplied by coal and oil and gas. It's just that the power companies arbitrarily declare that the watts they draw out "come from" the small fraction of solar that gets fed into the grid.

They are also feeding into the electricity grid…
