Amazon just bought a 100% nuclear-powered data center

[Think. Again.]

10. You write...

"Amazon’s purchase is leading to more dirty energy."

But that's quite a bit of an assumption. Amazon is reducing it's future non-CO2 energy use by planning their new heavy energy useage facility to be powered by a non-CO2 source.

Amazon does not have authority over the entire grid or where that grid energy comes from.

Yes, we need to transition ALL of our energy sources to non-CO2 sources. But your barking up the wrong tree if you think Amazon is going to take on that cost.

If anything, YOU are encouraging more CO2-emitting energy usage by DIScouraging individual attempts to find non-CO2 sources while we still have CO2 emitting sources available.

Energy is a market vulnerable to demand. If more of us demand non-CO2 sources like Amazon has, that transition will come a lot faster.

(And just to be clear, I do not like the Amazon business model in the least for many reasons, and I strongly suspect this decision to purchase this particular location was based on monetary factors, not a desire to be green for green's sake.)
