Mary Jander Indeed, it seemed to me from close scrutiny of the results that IT pros were interested in green datacenters, but had their hands tied about just how to proceed. As a result, many don't have plans....
Mujuku It seems to me that an answer might lie with the two greatest challenges - operational costs and energy efficiency. If it can be demonstrated convincingly that green data centres offer considerably...
thinbluedba I'm surprised that the report states that only 47% of the respondents marked virtualization or cloud computer as an option. In addition to the green benefits, there have been overwhelming evidence...
Venks How will batteries be disposed of at the end of useful life? @gagnamstyle: I think usually when batteries are needed to be replaced, the company buys back the old and used-up battery for a nominal...
Nagraj Adve Projjal, you're spot on re electric cars and carbon emissions from them. In fact, in Delhi, where I live, emissions from elec cars may well be as high or higher than conventional cars, because the...
Nicole Ferraro kq4ym: I think you're absolutely right about much of this being the result of PR efforts. PR firms, manufacturers, etc., have found clever ways to market products as "green," "energy efficient,"...
Pablo Valerio Dave, the Tax Per Mile, or vehicle miles traveled (VMT) tax, has been proposed in several states, with Oregon and West Virginia taking the lead. In Holland, the Dutch government launched a...
Mujuku It's not something I know an awful lot about, but you're right. There needs to be new legislation to cover the use of big data by government, and private companies for that matter. The story about...
Davedgreat2000 Mujuku, the Average citizen around the world has no clue as the the real work it takes to create one of these so called clean cars, Zero Emissions, low emissions etc. They believe the media when...
Davedgreat2000 Kq4ym, Good point. I think you are on to something
Mary Jander Mujuku, you bring up a key point: Privacy issues are forcing city governments to clarify their positions relative to the public data available for use. So while mobile info via GPS may be available...
Davedgreat2000 I really dont see Taxes per mile as being something the American people will go for, there will be major backlash. I'm already paying something like $1 a day to go in the Expresslanes to go home...
Mujuku Interesting point about the role of PR in all of this. Catchy titles like 'zero emissions' and 'zero carbon' actually undermine the long-term prospects of some very worthwhile initiatives. These...
Mujuku A stimulating read - thank you Mary. There are some very promising leads here. Transport planning springs most to mind. The use of Oyster cards here in London (which you pre-load with credit...
ashepard Zero emissions sounds so simple. Driving an electric car is clean. Making an electric car, servicing one, powering one and disposing of one is not. If the...
Toby You make a good point about zero emissions and the standby capacity coming into play though hopefully additional clean capacity will be built in to anticpate the growth in electric cars. However an...
kq4ym Could the real reason we're seeing all the misleading labels "green" "low emission" etc. be a result of public relations efforts to sell the public on actually not so green products, that depend...
gagnamstyle You make an excellent point about there being different answers based on where you ask the question. However, carbon dioxide does not follow political boundaries. For the most part an overall increase...
