It’s so easy to confuse one’s own opinion for everyone else’s, isn’t it?
It’s another small step in a good direction. I wish more people would do the same. But I guess it’s easier to troll from the couch instead of separating the garbage..
Ok so find me a company that is ready to get to the production levels Foxconn has to make future Apple products.
Where’s ‘here’ to you?

This.
Someone has to lead. Eventually others will follow (if only by the scruff of the neck), and things will improve - even incrementally is better than nowt.

To your mention of “renewables” - wouldn’t that make more sense strictly in relation to “solar energy”? Otherwise, it would be forgetting that renewables also include wind and hydro, sources that can generate energy during the night.
Correct, renewables often encompass a wide variety of energy sources. Consider: http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.aspx --- For the state of California that I am in. Love watching stuff like this. Renewables in the hydro, geothermal, wind, etc... do continue at night but often times there is not enough to supply a hungry data center. That said, Apple probably offsets this by overproducing solar and pumping back into the grid to cover that usage. (An assumption).
As of 10:05am PST - the state is 53% renewable powered.
The report (which you obviously haven't read) states that Apple purchased minerals from Japan, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Canada.
What armed conflicts are those countries financing with the money received from Apple?
Yes but the strange thing is that Foxconn is having a factory built here so are the workers to get less pay?, plus then apple products could be made here.

Apple sources from the Dutch? *looks at iPhone with new appreciation* They did all this with diamonds and tulips?!
That’s also up in the air too and will have far fewer employees than they initially said they would. Last I read, it’d be more of a white collar location.
