Apple militates both for and against a major environmental bill in the United States |Macgeneration

Behind the beautiful image of a green business that Apple projects with a lot of communication and marketing, he hides the other Apple near his money for whom the environment is very good, but it is the others whomust pay.The popular site.Info denounces the hypocrisy of Apple and its leaders, Tim Cook in mind, who on the one hand supports the efforts of the American legislator to reduce carbon emissions, while torping them on the other.

Lisa Jackson, vice-president of Apple's environmental and social initiatives, called for the adoption of the Clean Energy Standard (CES) a few days ago which aims to decarbonize the electricity sector in the United States from here2035.This provision, which represents a gigantic effort of $ 150 billion, is inscribed in a broader legislative package currently under discussion at the Congress Congress.

The principle is simple: it is a question of strongly encouraging electricity producing companies to use cleaner energy sources.We can buy all the electric cars that we want, if the energy which is used to make them come from coal power plants, the environmental interest is strongly reduced.The objective of the Biden administration is to reduce the emotions of the energy sector by 80% by 2030, and 100% in 2035.

This effort is also supported by a set of companies which calls for the implementation of the CES, including Apple, which has published an open letter in this sense in August.The financing of this huge project involves an increase in the tax rate of companies: it will drop from 21% to 26.5%.It is less than the 35% of the previous rate, which had dropped sharply with Donald Trump in 2017.

Obviously, some companies are hardly happy to have to pay a little more tax.Several of them have gathered within Business Roundtable, which actively campaigns against the legislative package.This lobbying group pays advertising campaigns on Facebook to call on citizens to ask their congress representative to oppose the bill.The main argument is that the increase in the taxation of companies risks having a negative impact on activity and employment ...

Surprise, this lobbying group has its board of directors ... a certain Tim Cook.The boss of Apple shares this hypocrisy with Ted Sarandos, the co-ceo of Netflix, who also campaigns for (and against, suddenly) the CES.Mary Barra, the patron of General Motors, is in the same case.A double speech on the part of these leaders, whose real desire can be questioned to make their part in the fight against global warming.
