Report: Computer Servers 'as Bad for Climate as SUVs'


I thought this was something that geeks should know.

FROM JALOPNIK.COM: "According to Global Action Plan, IT departments worldwide have a similar impact on the environment as the entire aviation industry, accounting for about 2% of the world's carbon pollution. The average server is equivalent to a "15mpg SUV" in its carbon emissions, the report claims."

Kinda depressing huh?

    My server (at home) is surrounded by lush tropical flora, and recycles its own CO2 into ammonia hydrate. Never mind what I use that for.
