They did the same with the CGI in TNG.

While the CGI may be saved, it would be distracting if they just re-rendered it and inserted it into otherwise remastered video. If you're going to go through the effort of remastering, you'd never accept that. The base assets are simply not at a comparable quality.

All of the CGI stuff is saved as well, they can render it at 4K@240hz tomorrow if they felt like it. But scanning about a million feet of 35mm film and then editing in the CGI and cutting everything correctly is a process that'll take years. If they knew how poor the TNG sales would be they would have never done it and DS9 nowhere near as popular.

There was an article not long ago about a major stock photo company already using AI to create it's images. How are they acquiring copyrights then?
If this is about money then you might as well just say "poor people" aren't allowed to use AI and copyright it's work.

Or: customers will be forced to rebuy remastered games for their next gen console, even generations has the same cpu architecture, thus maximizing console makers profits.

There was also the Cash-For-Ash scandal in Northern Ireland. The NI executive gave a lot of subsidies for wood pellet burning.
The subsidies at one point significantly exceeded the price of buying wood pellets. This led to people burning wood pellets in empty farmhouses to make large amounts of money.
Coincidentally, a lot of those who made money out of this, were NI political party donors.

Maybe. But Solar and Wind are growing quite quickly.
I know in my area they're putting up solar and wind farms like crazy. My warehouse is powered 100% by renewable energy off the grid now.

Ah yes, the plan is to accept more foreign students who just happen to have to pay full price for college tuition, in cash. Shocker there, like MIT would have any problem finding enough American student to fill its classrooms.

The security cameras show the exit routes and safe rooms used by legislators and staff. If the Capitol was invaded again, the invaders would know where to go, instead of wandering aimlessly.

But it’s the UK, and December. I feel like there’s about 3 hours per day of real sunlight at that point if the year. I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark in December.

Poor documentary really since they don't understand how this actually is far greener than burning fossil fuels. It plays into the ignorance of the population who think planting trees helps sequester CO2.

I remember Denmark had a day over 100% while I lived there, the news article had mentioned that they sold the extra inland to Germany. I also remember that it was the day when it was so windy, everyone had to walk their bikes or risk getting blown over, ha!

If by clean they only mean a climate change contributed they are not actually wrong.
Most people don't realise that while plants pull CO2 out of their air they do not remove it from the carbon cycle. Only if the plants were treated as nuclear waste, or even better buried in the ocean would that CO2 actually be removed from the carbon cycle.
The problem is that the CO2 released from fossil fuels is being added to the carbon cycle. It had been buried long ago.

Wind power is exceptionally cheap to produce once the infrastructure is built. The price of wind power is artificially linked to more expensive energy production means because of profit.

Sue China for the cost of the Corona Virus escaping the Wuhan labs. That will set China back a few trillions
