alone could lead to emissions greater than 20% of Microsoft’s annual carbon footprint,” the Greenpeace report says.This isn’t the first time Google has ended a business relationship with a controversial client.

rachsandl Thank you Google !!!

rachsandl Wow...this is dumb considering these 'fossil fuels' will be powering this country for decades to come.

rachsandl No longer building... It's been finished

rachsandl

rachsandl This isn’t about climate it’s about money. It’s not like the oil companies don’t have data scientists or other resources of their own.

rachsandl So what this is capitalism another company or individual will step up, I’m tired of these Chinese sucking companies trying to cripple the US.

rachsandl The free market will take care of it.

rachsandl sundarpichai and Google didn't stop building AI for oil drilling when it was clear that climate change was a problem. They stopped once the oil drilling market went bust.

rachsandl yeah right ....

rachsandl So Google apparently thinks they are the only ones that can ?

rachsandl Smart, that way we can starve people in the third world who’s economies depend on oil and gas to survive even faster in trying pandemic times!

rachsandl Bad call

rachsandl Have the best new day Forbes TwitterFamily 💙🙌🏻💙

rachsandl google should then get to work on those machines to make natural gas from trash.
