Every other time Warren Buffett has tried to dip his hands into energy it is solely to profit-monger on the backs of state and local governments. Shouldn't expect this project to be any different

They're building a demonstration plant that won't even be coming online for another 7 years. Surely there a simpler ways to shake down local governments.

This post stinks of some weird prejudice against Warren Buffet. Any businessperson that sells goods and services to state and local governments would expect to make a profit in doing so. Do you have a specific complaint about Buffett's business practices?

That’s the kind of claim you need to back up with examples and citations. True or false it just sounds like slander when you throw it out there in a thread like this without any sources.

Governments are inextricably involved in the energy sector.

Would you demonstrate the falsifiability of your claim by describing a different energy investor that has not sought to benefit on the backs of state and local governments? It would certainly help me to understand your point.

Seems at odds with someone giving now and planning to give his fortune to charity

Why specifically wouldn’t it be good intentions

Could you explain why you are prejudicing Warren Buffet?
