.@map_camp, how can Amazon's AWS be a climate sponsor when we actively partner with Oil and Gas companies, selling our AI to help them find and extract oil and gas much more quickly? This is unacceptable. Please don't help Amazon greenwash. Please hold us accountable.

The NYT reports: "On its website, Amazon says its customers include BP and Royal Dutch Shell, and its products can 'find oil faster,' 'recover more oil' and 'reduce the cost per barrel.'" Is this who you want as your "climate sponsor,"

Yes, of course the cloud is much more energy efficient, but almost 50% of AWS is run on fossil fuels.

@map_camp, please see@garyacook's thread. How do Amazon's renewable energy projects compare to our dirty energy investments?
"10X more new demand for fracked gas dirty electricity than the new renewable energy supply AWS has created just in 2019."

Emily Cunningham @emahleeJournalists, 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?

@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.

More important reporting from @brianmercahnt. Amazon, Goggle and Microsoft have deals with oil companies, “collectively worth billions” to help them “churn out more oil.”

Amazon's *own* website documents our love affair with fossil fuel 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.”

My thread on Amazon's very public relationship with Big Oil, @map_camp. If you can stomach it.

@map_camp, I'll leave you with this Amazon Web Services ad in the Houston airport: "Fuel the future, AWS is how." A fuel-based future will cause catastrophic warming & unimaginable mass death. Please drop AWS as your climate sponsor until we show true climate leadership. /endpic.twitter.com/9Qwm7PAaF4
