      House may vote on climate change bill next week
      WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Legislation to drastically reduce carbon dioxide pollution blamed for global warming could be voted on by the U.S. House of Representatives as early as next week, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said on Tuesday, as the Senate focused on the plan's tax implications for companies. Hoyer, speaking to reporters, said he expects the House to wrap up action on the climate change bill, which is a high priority of the Obama administration, either next week or the week of July 6, following a holiday recess. The House Energy and Commerce Committee approved the bill in May and Hoyer said committee chairman Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, was ready to get it moving again.

      Chip Measures Smart Grid, Data Center Energy Use
      Measurement is the first step of energy management, which becomes even more critical as energy costs rise. A new chip by Teridian Semiconductor is aiming at not only at concerns towards growing enterprise data center energy demand, but also for residential applications. Using technology they've honed through their utility smart meters, Teridian's chips could be key in managing IT energy costs. With annual costs for IT departments totaling over $4.5 billion in the U.S. in 2006 according to the EPA, there are ample savings to be made by reducing energy consumption. The same 2006 EPA report also projected 2011 data center energy cost at more than $7.4 billion. However, companies could implement smart measures towards energy efficiency and adopt that would more than half the energy use, according to the EPA.

      Q+A-What are Larry Ellison's plans for Sun Micro?
      BOSTON, May 7 (Reuters) - Oracle Corp (ORCL.O) Chief Executive Larry Ellison shook up Silicon Valley last month when he made a surprise move to enter the hardware market by acquiring computer maker Sun Microsystems Inc (JAVA.O). Some analysts speculated that Oracle, the world's largest database software maker, actually wants Sun's software assets and that it might eventually sell off the hardware business. Below are Ellison's comments on his rationale for buying Sun and strategy for turning around the struggling company. Ellison supplied his answers to Reuters questions via email. Q. Why does Oracle, a company that prides itself on high margins, want to get into the low-margin hardware business? Are you going to exit the hardware business?

      Google Data Center's Massive Energy Appetite
      Although Google still lags in total value behind Microsoft, it's no overstatement to say that Google is the most ambitious tech company out there, and every peep, large or small, that creeps out of its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters garners some interest. Case in point: over the weekend, the British newspaper the Guardian published the tantalizing statistic that Google's data center in The Dalles, Oregon, could use as much energy as the entire city of Newcastle, England when it comes fully online in 2011. (Secondary case in point, in re: the perpetual interest in All Things Google: I blogged earlier today about their goat-grazing project on the Mountain View campus.) As the world's top-ranked website, it's no surprise that Google has massive data needs. But for much of its history the company has been highly secretive about almost anything it considered proprietary, as I found when ...
