    The Biggest Green Market? Seven Reasons Why It's Green IT Over the past few weeks, I've had a number of meetings with engineers, executives and investors and such, and I keep coming away with the same conclusion. The fastest-growing and arguably most attractive segment in alternative energy and energy efficiency lies in hardware, software and networking equipment. Yep, green IT.

    Greenpeace Asks Facebook To ‘Unfriend’ Coal Greenpeace has intensified its campaign against Facebook’s use of coal-fired electricity, with a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, and a Facebook group that now has half-a-million members. The head of the environmental campaign group has written directly to the boss of the social network giant, following news that Facebook plans to double the size of a data centre in Oregon which has been criticised for using coal-based electricity. At the same time, 500,000 people have signed up to ask Facebook to “unfriend coal“.

    AT&T expands corporate solar capacity Telecommunications carrier AT&T is working with utility company SunEdison to activate up to 2 megawatts of solar capacity in California by the end of the second quarter of 2011. The deal is part of AT&T’s program to aggressively step up its solar investments moving forward. The first site under the deal with SunEdison is being activated on a rooftop in San Diego. The other sites will be located in Dunnigan, Commerce, Mojave, Santa Ana and West Sacramento.

    Clean tech faces muddy future Southwest Washington’s emerging clean-technology industry could face long-term setbacks if the U.S. Congress fails to pass a comprehensive energy policy this year, state and local leaders say. Both the House and Senate this session have debated energy bills that seek to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in some form, whether by establishing a carbon cap-and-trade system or a national renewable energy standard. But the proposals have so far failed to move forward.

    Google adds 20 year 114 MW Renewable Energy Purchase to its Green Data Center strategy, is electricity hedging a future for data centers? When we decided in 2007 to voluntarily become carbon neutral, our intent was to take responsibility for our carbon emissions and promote sustainable environmental solutions. We approach this goal in three ways. First, we minimize our energy consumption; in fact, we’ve built some of the world’s most energy efficient data centers. Second, we seek to power our facilities with renewable energy, like we did in Mountain View, CA with one of the largest corporate solar installations. Finally, we purchase carbon offsets for the emissions we cannot directly eliminate. We just completed a substantial 20-year green Power Purchase Agreement that allows ...

    More than half of new power in U.s., Eu is green More than half of all new electricity capacity added in the United States and Europe last year was from renewable power such as wind and solar, a body backed by the International Energy Agency and the UN reported. Last year was also a record year for the amount of new green power added to the grid, partly a result of shifting deployment and manufacture to emerging economies including Brazil, India and China, from flagging developed countries.

Wittman (R-1st): As a scientist myself, I recognize that the earth’s climate is changing. We must recognize that these climactic cycles of heating and cooling have been going on well before man appeared on earth. Humans across the globe contribute greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The questions then become, how much does man affect carbon levels in the atmosphere and to what extent does this affect climate change. We need to examine and take into account all factors, both those induced by ...

    New report says Britain could cut emissions to zero by 2030 Britain could reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to zero by 2030 without having to resort to nuclear power, according to a new report. 'Zerocarbonbritain2030’, published today by the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) purports to provide the first comprehensive energy strategy for the UK. It puts forward a scenario where carbon emissions across all sectors would be reduced to zero within 20 years and where Britain would become a net exporter of renewable energy, while creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
