What about the cost to the environment? That cost is just a negative externality to them and you, apparently. Yet I’m the one accused of thinking “conservatively.”
Burning ten times as many fossil fuels to “minimise the costs” is literally fucking stupid and short-sighted.
In the end it’s about money. If one had to pay for environmentally damages (e.g. a new tax on $energyUnit, $resourceUnit,…) and you’d not only pay for the resources + some markup for the producing company and just external externalize the “worth” of the damages (read: the taxpayer,…), then it’s cheaper to use these services instead of humans.
