Seems like FUD. The title has 'pollution' but the article only has one mention of pollution: > The pollution from data centers has increasingly been cited by the authorities for violating clean air regulations, documents show. In Silicon Valley, many data centers appear on the state government’s Toxic Air Contaminant Inventory, a roster of the area’s top stationary diesel polluters. There is some interesting information, but reads as if it wants to be some kind of scandalous exposé with all the off the record quotes. I like the proposed solution though: > "Some industry experts believe a solution lies in the cloud: centralizing computing among large and well-operated data centers." This of course doesn't always meet needs. Sometimes you need bare metal and your own network for security or latency reasons like maybe in the finance industry where milliseconds matter.
