I actually posted an article about their opening of a data center being detrimental to another countries water supply. Link should be in my profiles recent posts, worth a read.
I think there is a fair lot of people who think it's absurd to pay for what they consume. And if you asked them what the alternative is to them paying they'd say nothing, it should be free.
