    Amazon made 80 billion in operational income (after all expenses, pre-tax) in 2025, this is 0.001% of that. It’s like fining a person making $31k a year $3.10.

    Any fines that go towards the people are good fines for a company like Amazon, but it’s not enough

      I think you may have replied to the wrong person.

        I think it’s to suggest that this fine won’t do anything to motivate Amazon to go full electric.

          It will, along with many many other factors that are already driving the transition.
