Amazon invested in more than 100 new solar and wind energy projects last year, becoming the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy for the fourth year in a row, says the company.
The company now has more than 500 wind and solar projects globally, and once operational, are expected to generate more than 77,000 GWh each year.
“Amazon’s investments in solar and wind projects are helping power our operations, while also providing new sources of clean energy to the grid, spurring economic growth and supporting jobs in the communities where our customers live and work,” says Adam Selipsky, CEO of Amazon Web Services.
“More than 90% of our operations were powered by renewables last year, but we’re not done. We’re focused on continuing to find innovative ways to bring new projects online, address grid constraints, and work with policymakers to mitigate the impacts of climate change, all of which is helping Amazon move closer to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2025.”
To date, the company has expanded its renewables portfolio into 27 countries and more than 20 U.S. states.

Amazon Remains World’s Largest Corporate Renewables Purchaser
In a recent post, I argued that our brains are wired in a certain way, and that we have little in any control over our values and beliefs.
German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte seem to be saying something similar here. To take me as an example, I’m no more capable of being a Trump supporter than I am in believing in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.
It’
s true that MAGA votes against its own financial interests. But keep in mind that they have other more important interests. e.g., punishing immigrants and other people of color.
As suggested at left, we can easily understand why Canadians are uncomfortable living adjacent to the United States.
Of course, it’s even worse down here. Unless you’re a hateful moron Trump supporter, you’re suffering, either:
Directly, via lousy education, poor access to healthcare, expensive cost of living, gutted government services and a poor job market, or
Indirectly, as you see a criminal conman systematically destroy the country you love. As someone said, “It’s like being tied to a chair and forced to watch a toddler play with a loaded pistol.”
