I work in an industry that heavily relies on HPC. For any applications that require less than infiniband-grade interconnect, the energy efficiency of EC2 or other cloud solutions will massively outstrip that of even the most efficient hosted datacenters, with little or no performance impact.
It's a really strong argument with customers who are conscious about their energy usage.
