These systems were designed to have a lifetime of half a decade or more, and rapidly changing hardware meant that the initial deployment had to be sized for 5-7 years out.

As is the case with many other developers, the reports over the last few years of the huge energy requirements of the web have prompted me to take a look at my own websites and see what I can do to minimize their impact. As a result of this, my view of the Internet for a long time was a little ephemeral, a sort of mirage.

What I'm concerned about, as a developer, is the collateral damage such ham-fisted regulation might cause. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Admittedly, it's a developer focussed argument, but there are more technical arguments against the move. I've read the report. Not that I found.
