Data Centers Going Green?

Scientific American magazine is reporting today on a Bush Administration agreement with a consortium of data center vendors to cut energy expenditures.
From the SCIAM web site:

The Bush administration and a consortium of tech companies Tuesday vowed to drive down government and corporate data center energy use by 10 percent by 2011, saving about 10 billion kilowatt-hours, or roughly the amount of energy consumed by one million U.S. households annually.

I continue to be amazed at some of the metrics of our “knowledge” economy. For example, data center electrical use is 1.5% of the US total!
