If oil beats out renewables because they're using the cloud rather than several colocated racks, renewables have bigger viability problems. Not saying they do, but the cloud won't be what changes energy policy. This also gets at the issue of whether or not cloud providers are common carriers. Or even Spotify and Joe Rogan. As a business, I don't want to be in the game of policing which customers or vendors I want on ideological grounds because it opens the floodgates to more complaints like this. The bar for not doing business with someone acting legally needs to be very high.
