EXCEPT Amazon is still working for fossil fuel companies.

I could be wrong, but seems like Amazon finally realized powering themselves with renewables is cheaper in the long run, but they're still gonna help find & extract more carbon because that's too lucrative to give up. https://t.co/WbVxnT9vTA
Jeff Bezos's pledge to power 80% of Amazon with renewables by 2024 is fine. But what about its supply chain?

Worth noting, too: Vying to be the first company to sign the Paris Agreement says a lot about how it sees its place alongside nations.https://t.co/MQZmZsLGKH

Net zero carbon emission by 2040

Also worth noting, delivery is dirty, sure. But Microsoft is *already* carbon neutral, Google and Apple are 100% renewable powered and FB is 75% of the way there. 20 years is a long runway. https://t.co/kYd0P5McQR

This @amazon 100k unit order of electric delivery vans from @Rivian is...big. It's a huge order for a company that hasn't produced a vehicle yet, and it's exactly 100x the next biggest electric delivery van order, which was FedEx ordering from Chanje https://t.co/7EQs7M6qRg
