The op and article being sussy baka withstanding, we do understand how the markets work and how balls are pushed forward.

I however have been greenwashed to before thank you very much and have been jaded enough to consider a life of eco terrorism. I even keep a spare packet of fluoride to sha-shaaw people in the face with in case things get rough.

I'm watching you, op...

(PS: In case of mod, /s)

I'm deeply confused by your response. The article in question candidly discusses that the process will be as green as the feed it is given in both electricity and materials. The innovation at hand, however, is capable of emission free steel. The emission free steel might not truly happen for a minute, but it is on its way.

Oh you can promote your optimism for the future all you want, but I don't respond well to optimism, and that's because I've seen the light - or rather the darkness - of a market dependant upon venture capital in league with political elites, an unholy alliance forged in an attempt to try and recoup the losses for investments made in beanie babies. Oh sure, the cocaine, sex workers and ritualistic sacrifice are cool at first, as are membership points that come with it, which you can spend in the cabal gift shop for a sex slave to go, but I cannot in good conscience tolerate the terms of service because it requires citizenry in a supposed state.

And it because of one thing. Do you know what that thing is?

I dont know what you're on about, but I try to focus on how we can improve things because I don't like being sad and miserable all the time.
