Well, from a purely consequentialist standpoint, it would very likely be much more cost-efficient to donate the money you could use to make the data centre green to charities.
Then again, I'm plenty cynical to realize that going green is most often a PR-move, in which case donating to charities doesn't quite cut it. Nevertheless, if nature is the priority, a good charity (there are some bad, or at least inefficient ones, too) is best.
- facorreia 14y agoBy "greener" they mean "we want to lower our utilities bill."
- sw007 14y agoExactly. By greener I mean save money, which I really need to do to safeguard my job in the current turbulent financial market.
- quesera 14y agoThat's not what "greener" means. That's just "reducing opex", which is a much simpler question. Is there any capex budget for reducing opex? If so, any time frame limitation for recognized savings?
