With the advent of technologies like RightScale and Amazon’s EC2, system administrators should really care less where their machines are located. They should put a few “servers” on the west coast, a few on the east coast, and hey, why not Europe?

So here’s my request: please place all future elastic computing cloud data centers near a hydroelectric plant. As CTOs and CIOs begin to migrate their infrastructure into the cloud, we can push the carbon footprint of the Internet towards zero.

Thank you in advance,
