you're talking about the power grid like it's some monolithic entity like amazon -- it's not. every region has its own, and sometimes multiple, power companies. some are public. LA DWP coexisting with edison is a good example of this.
there's also a high degree of regulation to make sure this stuff works together. see: rolling blackouts.
- jedberg 11y agoOh I wasn't saying it would all be Amazon. I'm saying it will all be 3rd party clouds. The number of providers is up for grabs.
- beachstartup 11y agoi certainly hope so. amazon is looking to be the next microsoft of the 90s. i think most people are just too young to remember how horrendously bad it is when one company owns most of the market.
