I found an interesting article to share with everyone that goes over some of the things hosting companies are doing to help make their data centers more green - http://technology.inc.com/hardware/articles/200704/green.html

I predict the power trend will reverse in the next few years as data centers become more efficient.

Is it just me or is the electricity costs raising more every year. I hope they can fix this.

Everything goes up; nothing goes down, not for long.  That's just human economics.  We need to harness solar energy and wind power.

The electricity costs are definitely rising year after year, that's why its so important for hosting companies to try and harness the new energies.

I wonder if there's any way to generate natural energy at night, since the solar panels would be used during daylight. Also, I'm running my computer 24 hours straight, is there any way to use natural energy as opposed to using electricity? I know it's an odd question, but just curious.

sure, check out geothermal energy, there is enough heat stored underground to power half the country.

The amount of energy used by data center servers, cooling equipment, and related infrastructure doubled in the United States and worldwide between 2000 and 2005, according to a new Stanford University study.
