Going Green

Nice to see some companies are taking responsibility for the amount of energy they use. Take Google for example who are planning on building data centres using sea containers and placing them in the sea for cooling and as an energy source.
What I didn´t expect was the US military taking a leaf from the same book and building a 500 megawatt solar farm in the Mojave desert. Don´t get me wrong, I think it´s a great idea and proving ground for large scale solar power generation. It´s just the idea of the military saying that they want to set an example for environmentally friendly initiatives is bit hypocritical.
