Energy Cost will drive IT Energy Efficiency - 1E Blog

I saw a great quote this morning, from John Stanley of the Uptime Institute. ”Dirty electricity is already expensive, it only looks cheap.” He was referring to energy that comes from coal, which looks like becoming even more expensive given the Cap and Trade legislation that's in the pipeline. All across the world, governments are boosting their efforts to increase output from renewable sources, and as the costs come down for renewables, governments are looking to make  so called 'dirty energy' more expensive as part of their drive to lower carbon emissions.

This is already having an effect in the IT sector, specifically in the data center world.
