As I understand it, Cook was challenged for putting money into off-grid power production instead of absolutely focusing on profits. A company with >$100B cash on hand is doing profits right. I have no problem with a company going off-grid in a way few can, further enforcing it’s independence just as we all should have a pile of cash on hand and build our own solar collectors etc. for independence.
that’s exactly what happened. AAPL is a cash flow monster. What they did in the NC data center is pretty amazing and, arguably, pretty good for profitability. Ever wonder why they chose North Carolina for their solar based data center?
