The Hypocrisy of Tech Giants

 Olivia Murray has a great post at the American Thinker today exploring the hypocrisy of the Tech Billionaires entitled Silicon Valley progressives buy up nuclear reactors to power their AI data center needs, after pushing us to subsist with wind and solar power.

When the rubber met the road and the progressive climate change warriors in Silicon Valley needed energy to power their AI and data centers, you might be surprised to learn they didn’t opt for the “renewable” energy technologies they’ve been forcing down our throats (wind turbines and solar panels), using the weight of big government, but instead went for…reliability and affordability.

Or maybe it’s not all that unexpected, considering these are the same people who fly from climate conference to climate conference in personal private jets and gorge themselves on Kobe beef while calling on us to limit ourselves to crickets and lab-grown “meat” mash.

As we are all miserably aware, these three companies are radically left, both in their company mission and the personal ideology of their executives, and they use their weight to influence policy—they’re leading proponents of the progressive “climate change” narrative. While they’ve certainly “invested” a bit into the “zero-carbon” energy schemes, they abandoned their positions for personal gain when they needed reliability and affordability—the very reason we conservatives have insisted that nuclear energy is a great and clean option.

Does that mean we “unwashed masses” will be afforded the same opportunities? Or will we still be saddled inefficient and unaffordable?

I suspect the latter.

I do not resent that the tech billionaires make a lot of money by supplying people with products they like. That is capitalism. What I resent is that they then use the money they have made through capitalism to impoverish the rest of us and to force us to live on a subsistence level. I suspect that Murray believes similar. If nuclear is good enough for tech giants, it is good enough for the rest of us too.
