No lol the amount of power that cloud services use is atrocious. The serverless trend makes things add up. It's cheaper in terms of hardware but oh boy do all those layers of abstraction make things heavy, especially loading of the applet, communication to other applets. (I'm forgetting if applets is the correct name).

I actually don't belive the ~5% figure at all—especially with the track record of honesty (or the lack of it) these companies have.

Sure, datacenters are rather efficent, but times 330 million people in the US adds up.
