And we also have a partnership with Co-Op America, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Green Building Council. Plus, we are doing more then just making sure their electricity is green. Our data center and office is green too by using environmentally friendly air conditioners, solar tubes to bring in natural light, a propane powered generator instead of diesel, VMWare virtualization to reduce our server electricity usage, 6 watt energy saving desktops computers for our employees, and soon to be LEED certified as a green data center, the only public one in North America.

There are, however, power saving things that are happening that are far more interesting. I heard a podcast today that talked about some really cool datacenter assessment tools that are available.
