Personally, I think only a self-owned DC could get that low. A

But it's still frickin' amazing, IMHO.
I wonder what it cost? :-)
What cost to the environment of not doing it?
OK, green hat off. :) Seriously, I doubt GOOG isn't seeing serious
savings from this over time. If they weren't why would they do it?
