Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced a broad plan on Thursday to fight climate change, including meeting the Paris climate agreement 10 years early, which will make the company carbon neutral by 2040.
As part of this pledge to fight climate change, Bezos announced Amazon will purchase 100,000 electric vans. These vehicles will begin making deliveries in 2021 and all 100,000 will be deployed by 2024, Bezos said.The vans will come from the electric vehicle company Rivian. Amazon led a $700 million investment round in the company earlier this year.
EVs will put massive strain on our local and regional power grids in the decades to come. We need to be extremely thoughtful about what powerplants are decommissioned and new ones built to replace the losses and accommodate increased demand.
🥰 🙌👏👏👏👏
It'll certainly help reduce pollution in the cities but it'll only the countries in general and climate change if the power comes from green sources, so I hope that's a requirement.
How will reliable, 24/7, electricity be produced? With more than 67% of global electricity production generated by fossil fuels, an additional 100,00 trucks running everywhere will increase electricity production. Giant, mystery power banks don't exist.
Good. Thats a start!!
I hope he uses all of them in California and never buys another gas powered vehicle for the state. POtuS45
If these cunts aren’t even paying taxes, how about they purchase electric cars for everyone
If the west continues to misallocate ion Lithium, we're going to be sorrrryyyy...
100,000 that need to be charged with power obtained from mainly coal or gas plants. Why don't they just do everyone a favor and pay the taxes they should be paying?
In nähme Gott ich werde Gewinnen mit Gott Zusammen
We'll have to buy more coal to run the power plants.
Again with the Climate Orthodox. The Climate of ladder day saints. 🛐🙄
Aka self driving vans so we can get rid of the thousands and thousands of drivers we employ lol
I just read that as 100,000 electric fans, I was very confused.😂
they need to pass out some of that tax free wealth
How about paying your workers? They for sure could use a living wage, organic food ain't cheap
This is awesome.
So it begins
The postal service bent over backwards for amazon and now he’s ditching them and starting his own service.
