Dear Green American, You know the story. A wealthy miser receives ghostly visitors on Christmas Eve. Each shows him a truth he's been avoiding. By morning, he's transformed—choosing redemption over ruin. This year, we're playing the ghosts.
And Big Tech? They're Scrooge. THE GHOST OF CLIMATE PAST: Remember When Clean Energy Was Your Priority Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta—you weren't always villains on climate. You made 100% renewable energy commitments. You proved corporations could lead on climate change. You inspired others to follow. Green America cited your companies as leaders to win victories on renewable energy from companies like AT&T and Verizon . But then came AI. And those commitments? Out the window. You're choosing fossil fuels over the clean energy future you once championed.
The cruelest irony? Solar, wind, and battery storage can meet AI's energy needs RIGHT NOW. You just refuse to invest in it. And it is cheaper than fossil fuels! THE GHOST OF CLIMATE PRESENT: Look at What You're Doing RIGHT NOW AI already consumes enough electricity to power 7 million American homes. By 2028? That explodes to 26 million households—equivalent to adding Texas to America's grid. And how are you powering this? Natural gas, coal, and nukes. Microsoft is even trying to reopen the disastrous Three Mile Island nuclear plant! Families near your data centers are breathing polluted air. Their electric bills are skyrocketing. Communities are running out of water. All so tech billionaires can be richer. We must STOP Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta from creating a climate catastrophe and poisoning millions of Americans! |
