Yes, it does change the whole meaning of this. Running even just the datacenters in renewable energy alone is a huge technical and organizational undertaking, - maybe on par with Project Manhattan and the Apollo Program. Doing the carbon neutral gimick is, - until hard proof is presented to show actual reduction in fosil fuels usage, - little more than good intentions and financial sophistry. Don't get me wrong, it is a good thing they are doing at least this much... but in my opinion they are getting a huge, undeserved PR boon out of this. Companies like Oracle could not get away with this, even if they tried. In my eyes, and until hard evidence is presented to disproof this, I think they are still milking all the goodwill from the "don't be evil" motto from yesteryear.
