i doubt Ai companies can "go green" any more than oil companies can.
the very nature of their business is to strip resources and shoot for impossible exponential financial growth.
nothing about either industry is sustainable. not even for the short term, now.

Let’s do NS Power first. I think they’re in a mess so we should be able to get a bargain.
We could live in a country where we reduce our energy bills, clean our air and water, revitalize our communities, take back our energy sovereignty, and create thousands of good-paying union jobs in the process.
The secret? Public ownership.

Rain spreads across the region Wednesday; starts as icy mix in parts of central-north NB. Rain tapers to drizzle/showers Thursday then clears.
Not bad Friday then a gusty NW wind and onshore rain-snow showers Saturday.
Rain again Monday.

And it's not just in areas like federalism - Carney's got pathetically short-term vision on the economy and growth, the very things he's supposed to expert in.
Carney’s approach here is very much in keeping with an observation Paul Wells made back in the summer, that he’s focused on short-term deliverables, not long-term governance challenges.
The problem is, neglecting and failing to improve governance will leave Canada with weaker foundations.

So the PM intended to inform B.C.'s premier once the negotiations with Alberta have been finalized?
Nation-building promised, sausage-making delivered.
Regardless of whether this pipeline will ever be built, the process itself is profoundly damaging.
