One of the quotes seems to imply Amazon should not let oil and gas companies use their cloud services. Having these companies use less efficient alternatives would seem to be a net loss for society. I don’t think there is a positive upside because the change in cost would not be large enough to change output.

I don't know how extensive the infrastructure of big oil is and how interwoven with AWS, but you are probably correct.

That aside, the whole business of Amazon is dependent on oil. Logistics, packaging, ...

Maybe it is wrong not to protest, but it just feels... off.
