The key words in that headline are “Big Tech donors,” to the tune of $6 billion. 😳

Big Tech’s climate pledges lasted right up until the AI boom needed more gas, more power, and more data centers. 🏭

While we’re thrilled Amazon suddenly cares about the Colorado River Basin, their efforts have PR rehabilitation all over it. 🤷🏻♂️
