     @animeirl ... how is coal not used in the making of computers? They all come from FoxConn in coal-fueled China.

     @animeirl I don't have the original context, so I don't know what your disagreement was, but overall, of course power generation is relevant to how producing goods affect the environment.
     
     Or did the person mean that coal was part of the materials that went into the computers? If the computers use steel, that would also be true. ;-)

     @animeirl Urgh, ok. Then I agree it's certified moronic. And now I'm able to read the first thing you said correctly. :-)
