It is very disappointing that the article does not point out that decommissioning old centers in favor of new ones will improve energy efficiency 2x and compute-per-watt at the silicon level between 20–30x.
Even the most fervent eco-warrior should be demanding we build new data centers and decommission old ones as fast as we can.
So tired of all the bullshit around this.
Its a good point but one i deal with in a follow up article. The key here is to start the conversation not hit every point ;-)
