Amazon to Power Cloud with Wind Farm in Indiana

Even the lunatic fringe cannot avoid using wind power.

Hah. This is ironic. Most of these media sites are hosted by Amazon. That means starting in 2016 every post on this site from the anti-wind lunatic fringe will be powered by the wind!

There’s just no escaping progress.

“Following Amazon’s quiet commitment to use 100 percent clean energy for its AWS cloud, on Tuesday Amazon announced that it will support the construction and operation of a wind farm in Benton County , Indiana, which will provide power for its data centers. While Google, Facebook, and Apple have been investing in clean power for data centers for awhile, Amazon has moved more slowly and been more quiet when it comes to how it planned to incorporate clean power into its energy infrastructure mix.”
