Sounds like they’re just going to spend $7.5bn greenwashing? Green-laundering! Power.

Buy “green” power here, claim the green credits overseas, then resell the power as “dirty” power at next to no loss to them because our demand vastly outstrips our supply.

Niiiiice.

$7.5B is a myth; and it was already announced a couple of years ago.

You could build an entire cellular network (maybe minus physical towers) for that much.
