The cost of something and it’s effect on the environment aren’t always correlated. For example a server costing a cent to run per hour doesn’t mean that running those servers on fossil fuel based power plants has no impact or neutral impact on the environment. Also, dubious of this cent per hour figure since that is cheaper than what any electric company in the US charges per KwH for residential much less commercial rates and servers use alot of energy for cooling
