I’m one of the Amazon employees who filed the climate shareholder resolution.

Amazon isn’t hiding this. No, it has a whole website dedicated to MARKETING to OIL COMPANIES explaining all the many ways Amazon can help them extract oil better and faster. Website is even called “AWS for Oil & Gas”https://aws.amazon.com/oil-and-gas/

More of Amazon’s own words of courtship to oil companies: “Whether it is finding oil, producing oil, or optimizing production, you can stop worrying about the constraints of High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure cost & capacity.”

Amazon has a choice who it does business with. There’s a lot of money to be made in the sell of ams, for instance. Yet the company prohibits the sale of ammunition, explosives, and firearms. https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/200164950 …
