Journalists, PLEASE, don't help Amazon greenwash.
Put Amazon's renewable energy projects in *context.* How do the 66 projects compare to our dirty energy investments?
"10X more new demand for fracked gas dirty electricity than the new RE supply AWS has created just in 2019."https://twitter.com/garyacook/status/1159221351011373056 …
This piece sounds like it was written by Amazon's own PR. Those 51 solar rooftop projects? That's only on ~6% of buildings in our global fulfillment network. In other words: *94% DON'T have them.*
We called this out in our (@AMZNforClimate) open letter to Bezos:

Link to open letter asking Bezos to take true climate leadership. Over 8,000 Amazon employees *publicly* signed their name. That number represents ~12% of US corporate workforce. That number is unprecedented in tech on climate (possibly any issue). 3/https://medium.com/@amazonemployeesclimatejustice/public-letter-to-jeff-bezos-and-the-amazon-board-of-directors-82a8405f5e38 …
.@JoshSHill, respectfully: the next time you report on Amazon's renewable energy projects, please put these in context with our dirty energy investments + carbon footprint, and that we:
1. Actively partner with Big Oil
2. Fund climate denying think tank and legislators
4/
Regarding 1), thread on Amazon's lust for fossil fuel business. How we help Big Oil "optimize production and profitability.” (We don't hide this.) 5/https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1104223871492710400 …
Regarding 2), The New York Times reported Amazon is funding the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a “think tank” with a long history as a key leader in the climate denial political movement. /ENDhttps://medium.com/@amazonemployeesclimatejustice/amazon-is-funding-premier-climate-denial-think-tank-8f657b5c9922 …
Addendum: Also regarding 2), Amazon donated to 68 members of congress in 2018 who voted against climate legislation 100% of the time.https://medium.com/@amazonemployeesclimatejustice/public-letter-to-jeff-bezos-and-the-amazon-board-of-directors-82a8405f5e38 …
