Clean energy critics often argue that addressing climate change will require too much mining.

So I looked into the data.

I found that our current fossil fuel economy requires 535x more mining than a 100% clean energy economy would.

So, ok, let's talk about Twitter and bots. N=230 million and it's say it's 5% bots. We have two ways to obtain an estimate of the fraction of bots.

Method 1. Sample 3,000 users/month and manually review.
Method 2. Use our A.I.-powered Bot Index to count them.

Which is better?
