Facebook Can’t Satisfy Greenpeace with New Data Center Plans · Environmental Management & Energy News · Environmental Leader



Really surprised that Greenpeace hasn't jumped all over that 12V battery being attached to each server! This concept is an environmental nightmare. The cheap batteries have a horrible service life, consume far more natural resources than a well maintained UPS, require significantly more man-hours to support, places unnecessary burdens on the recycling community, and these low-cost batteries are often sourced from firms and nations with nightmarish environmental practices. Someone please send Greenpeace a wake-up call!
