Apple's annual shareholder meeting tackling conservative fears, China, equality, & AI
Holy cow the comments about conservatives are at the same time hilarious, astonishing, and dreadful. You guys seem to have no idea what you’re talking about, plain and simple. I’m not surprised that we can’t have a debate across the political divide today, because when you describe conservative voters as “radicalized”, you’re labeling a group of citizens based labels and name calling, not on the fundamental ideas and policies they champion. -

Please enlighten us as to his contribution?That’s President Al Gore you’re speaking of and he deserved to be on the BoD.
"An Inconvenient Truth" is considered a seminal work on climate change and bringing attention to it the general public. Apple changed the industry to consider "performance/watt" instead of just raw performance. Apple has been pushing green initiatives and recycling in a higher profile way than any other large tech company and probably any other corporation period. It pervades their entire image. -

The biggest issue is not shown. If it is was just solid waste, people would just deal with it. But burning fossil fuels releases CO2 into the atmosphere and that will cause the atmosphere to heat up. That heat will transfer to the oceans, lakes and land and heat them up. If we continue on a path of burning fossil fuels, it will threaten our current cultures and political states, and there is a possibility of threatening humanity itself.
Also not shown as that wind turbines and solar panels will increasing become recyclable. A lot of municipal waste is compostable and will degrade. The e-waste can be mined. Even the plastic has a chance of being composted and degraded properly, but coal ash? It's just going to sit there, lifeless, waiting on the toxicity and radioactive chemicals to leech and dilute into the surrounding environment. CO2 in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels? The worst part. Those are thousand year problems without human treatment of some kind.
Batteries will be recycled. PV panels will be recycled. Carbon-fiber wind turbine blades are inert solid waste, but even with that, there will eventually be ways to recycle them.
Really, renewables is a gigantic improvement over fossil fuels, especially solar+PV. The waste is solid, most of the product can be recycled, and just not having the gaseous and solid waste from fossil fuels will be a big boon for public health and the vitality of society.
