Amazon's 100% renewable energy goal is meaningless without a date. Winning slowly is the same thing as losing with the climate crisis. Employees have to give dates. It would be unfathomable for an Amazon employee to walk into a meeting about a new product without a launch date.
It's also dishonest for Amazon to have a goal of "100% renewable energy" without a date, especially when timelines determine the amount of devastation in a rapidly warming climate. 1.5 vs 2 degrees... even half a degree warming threatens the lives of tens of millions of people.

Our peers are showing much more leadership: 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 is VERY FAR from responding to the climate crisis at the scale or urgency it requires. Of showing *meaningful* action and climate leadership. What we are doing is wholly inadequate.
