Maybe humans are not the best electricity generator, but slavery is far from obsolete. In fact, there are more slaves today than ever before in history although it's difficult to define exactly what a slave is (https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/41684/is-it-true...). Humans may not be so efficient but they sure are cheap, in some places as little as $90 (https://socialinnovation.blog.jbs.cam.ac.uk/2015/03/17/moder...). The sole reason slavery is not as widespread at least in the developed world is because of laws caused by some people having a conscious.

What about a making it prerequisite? Demonstrate you have built the nuclear/solar/whatever capacity to cover your own energy before you're allowed to build a datacenter?
First off thank you for designing this. Both iOS and Android have been focused on streamlining their user experience in the past few years but unfortunately it seems that text editing is just as annoying as before.
In theory how would a "robust implementation" be designed to avoid two layers?
