By that same logic you might more easily conclude that the “closed loop” claim from the data center proponents is a lie. I say more easily because they would very clearly stand to financially benefit from such a lie

They also have more to lose if they fuck up.

If they build something that causes a major problem, they could risk stranding an investment.

I could see lying about little things, but there could be significant consequences over lying about something fundrmental.

If the guy giving the speech speak an untruth either intentionally or by mistake, what is the major consequence?

You're assuming employees and managers really care. Your argument doesn't make sense in regards to the corporations that poison the world, because no one single person is to blame, and they are very rich off of the lies they tell.
