Jensen Huang, the CEO of supercomputer chip-maker Nvidia, has for years claimed that his company’s artificial intelligence products, as some of the most advanced scientific tools in history, will help the world solve climate change, warning last year that “climate disasters are now normal.”
Yet Huang is now loudly cozying up to U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, even though Wright is fully on board with the Trump administration’s climate denial policies.
A so-called “climate science” report Wright’s Department of Energy released in July has been condemned by scores of scientists as “biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policymaking.” The report is part of the administration’s effort to overturn the scientific basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions as pollution — the 2009 endangerment finding — under the Clean Air Act.
Ruth Porath (Google) also praised Trump energy policies.
Jensen, is furthermore all in on Skynet militarism and support for Palantir to mass surveil Americans. In addition to giving China the best tech to compete with US empire domination.
What makes Trump/GOP the worst participants in government is the pure oligarchist corruption. Loyalty+bribes equals full government support for their extortion power.
