“inaction”… This is how disinformation spreads. As an Amazon employee she should know that Amazon’s AWS (which has committed to achieving 100% renewable energy) dramatically shrinks the carbon emissions footprint of data centers companies would’ve otherwise needed to build.https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1134513118166388736 …

Sorry. There is no timescale on that 100%. It's meaningless. Oh and you don't "dramatically shrink" anything. Customers shift their footprint to AWS and because of Jevons Paradox will likely use more because efficiencies. See https://www.infoq.com/presentations/vision-climate-change … It's not disinformation

And remember Amazon’s AWS is a much bigger cloud operation than Google’s. Now Bezos didn’t have to commit to 100% renewable energy if he wanted higher profits, but he did anyway, and has built mega solar and wind farms across the globe, with more coming.https://twitter.com/khanoisseur/status/1137016539893379077?s=21 …

Khanoisseur 🐶 🤦🏻♂️ 🌎 @KhanoisseurReplying to @emahlee @MatthewPCookeAmazon 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/ …2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

A typical media hit piece on Amazon which buried this at the very end - and also fails to mention that Bezos donated $2 billion in charity last year, the most by any individual (s) with $18 billion more pledged. Nor does it mention all the wind and solar farms Amazon built.pic.twitter.com/O5e5Mdhday

Wow! Bloomberg doing a "media hit piece"? That's hilarious. I don't care how much Bezos gives to charity. Pledging stuff is easy Doing stuff is hard. He has the money and Amazon has the money to offset now. The fact they don't is greed. Cc

Re Bezos donating to charity, read
@anandwrites. Our system is broken. Bezos has a real opportunity to shift whole industries in a positive direction re the#climateCrisis. Donating this money doesn't do that.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
The evidence is clear - Amazon has built numerous renewable energy farms and helped create lots of green jobs. And with $20 billion donated to fight homelessness and other causes, he’s just getting started. Let’s revisit in 10 years. Peace.

What Amazon has done is minuscule. It is NOT leadership. As I've written about previously, Amazon's much-touted "solar projects" are teeny weeny compared to our massive carbon footprint.https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1136918099628777472 …

@awscloud is unfortunately not following thru on 100% renewable commitments. Until called out in February--they had not signed a project since '16, despite a massive expansion.
