The right vision is to operate the cloud with zero-carbon emission from power Not just offsetting through renewable energy purchases Not just 24x7 matching True zero carbon in electric power consumed, and with no increase as the cloud continues to grow That's the right vision for our proud computing technology community to lead the fight against climate change, and to see increasing use of computing as a positive force to slow climate change In 2020, the cloud's power consumption exceeded 2% of total US power, and hyperscale providers exceed 6% in regional power markets and grids Add to that annual growth of 28% (2017-2019) as well as acceleration from COVID-sped digitalization and machine learning, and it's clear that cloud power consumption cannot be ignored in serious attempts to reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions
