This flew under the radar for me but AWS has “a long-term commitment to achieve 100% renewable energy usage for our global infrastructure footprint.”

Source? Highly relevant to my interests...

EDIT:

Forgot that was a quote, and used Google — for anyone who's interested: http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/sustainable-energy/

Interesting that they see renewable and not some term that envelops nuclear, given Bezos' investments in the latter.

That seems silly, given the AWS is in the business of selling things as cheaply as possible.

Why is that silly? Renewable energy doesn't mean it's more expensive, especially as non-renewable sources begin to run out in the future.
