An internet user in China visiting a website hosted there will produce a lot of CO2 (use of coal for electricity production), but an internet user in Norway visiting a website hosted in Norway will produce almost zero CO2 (near 100% use of hydropower for the production of electricity there).

In Holland they have been talking about a new server farm; 100,000 servers and will have access to 30 megawatts of power. I do think those numbers make it important to watch them... On the other hand; I do think that Google is one of the few who take all this very serious.... Yep; lightbulbs and less running of electronics would help = but you know; a google (and any other company) is using the same lightbulbs and leave their electronics on.... ;) Also wondering how much energy the 2 researchers have been using during their research….? ;)

Should I stop that as well? That crap should just be ignored. People that really want to save energy do meaningful things like buying better lightbulbs and running less electronics 24/7. Dragging Google into this is nothing but linkbaiting. Which bloggers are happily supporting. I generate something like 900g CO2 daily by breathing. Should I stop that as well?
