I feel your tweet is misleading as usage increases on more cost efficient platforms because you do stuff that wouldn’t have been practical in a traditional data center. There is no date on the 100% renewable commitment so incredibly weak and way behind Google.
And many others. Walmart set a goal to be powered by 50% renewable sources by 2025, and has currently achieved 28% of that. Microsoft pledged to cut emissions by 75% by 2030.
Amazon AWS ($21 billion/year business) is MUCH larger than Google Cloud ($4 billion/year business) - so Amazon achieving 50% renewable energy for AWS is a much bigger deal than say Google achieving 100% for its.pic.twitter.com/WkMqIyXaLX
Conversely, it's a "much bigger deal," given Amazon's market share, that almost 50% (!!) of AWS runs on fossil fuels. With NO DATE as to when to get to 100% renewable energy.

Amazon AWS already exceeded 50% renewable energy usage last year so you can extrapolate when it will achieve 100% - the more it invests in R&D (already the biggest investor) the faster it can hit 100% targets. So buy more from Amazon!https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/sustainability/sustainability-timeline/ …
No you can't extrapolate anything. In fact, the more it grows and doesn't invest the lower the percentage. Amazon does not share public information on its energy usage, so we literally don't know if that 50% is even true. You know Amazon doesn't even own its renewable resources?
