This is all very interesting and impressive, but why doesn't anyone talk about how much pollution and environmental damage this is causing? It's terrifying to think about how much fossil fuel will be burned to keep these resources running. How many servers and cables they will be throwing away every year. How much packaging trash is being generated by Amazon every day. Do these inconvenient by-products simply disappear? No, they show up in your landfills, and in your oceans, and they get "exported" (dumped) in China and Africa. The only metrics people are looking at is revenue, profits, growth, bandwidth and storage. But how about we start measuring pollution, waste, and environmental destruction for every company, right alongside the traditional metrics? It's great when the stock price doubles. But does anyone think about the fact that this probably also means the amount of plastic trash in our oceans, and poisonous gas in our atmosphere doubles?
