@CopyX1982 Yes I drive electric and no, I don't drive a Tesla. I also only buy energy from a green provider and only fly when necessary (i.e. work tells me I have to). Easy choices that make a difference, however small.
You also have zero basis on which to say "the vast majority don't care." It's more likely that the vast majority don't know, which is part of the reason why this article exists. You are simply speaking from your own selfish needs and assuming everyone else does or should think the same. You're entitled to do that, but please don't throw your toys out the pram when you come across anything that challenges you on that.
@X68000 Er, yes - lots of people have an issue filling their cars with petrol which is why so many (if still not a majority - unless you live in Norway) now drive electric? Politics is in everything, whether you like it or not. Since we don't live in a perfect world - not least thanks to those who just want to stick their fingers in their ears - then many of us have to make nuanced decisions. There is a strong argument that voting with your wallet for the least worst option will encourage companies chasing profit (i.e. most of them) to produce even less harmful options.
Besides, please don't be intellectually disingenuous - this isn't "moral outrage." This article is a deep, thoughtful piece and it's clear that you just want quick answers which here just isn't possible unless you're happy to stick your head in the sand.
@Bobby64 Until a few days ago I didn't know that PIF had a stake in Nintendo, so thank you for sharing. I was actually already selling my Switch 2 as I'm disappointed with it, but this'll only accelerate it.
Nevertheless, to suggest we shouldn't make some change unless we can make all change is "all or nothing thinking" and would leave us rigid to the spot as a species. Thankfully, history proves that thinking doesn't win out. Have a great day.
Very much appreciate you highlighting that this is Saudi-backed, and please continue to do so. Those "i JuST waNNa play ma vidEogamES!!!" amongst us can absolutely do that, but there's a reason that "bread and circuses" has endured as a phrase.. and it isn't there to describe those who want the lives of each new generation to be better than the last.
