Another aspect it seems ppl are missing are the insane amount of opportunities for application of MEA tech AWS brings to the table

"Researchers from the Centre for Energy-Efficient Telecommunications (CEET) and Bell Labs explain that the information communications and technology (ICT) industry, which delivers Internet, video, voice and other cloud services, produces more than 830 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas, annually. That’s about 2 percent of global CO2 emissions — the same proportion as the aviation industry produces. Projections suggest that ICT sector’s share is expected to double by 2020. The team notes that controlling those emissions requires more accurate but still feasible models, which take into account the data traffic, energy use and CO2 production in networks and other elements of the ICT industry."

Data centers alone are responsible for 200mil metric tons. I work in IT sales, backup power and recovery is HUGE. MEA and AWS could capitalize on this growing demand!
