The internet and energy

I found an article from cnn.com called "Greenpeace: Apple has the dirtiest data". This article explained how internet companies (Google, Apple, Facebook, ect) are using alot of energy. The internet by itself uses as much energy as many countries in the world. We seldom think of the internet when we think about reducing our energy use, but the internet is quickly becoming a large part of the global energy crisis. Apple especially gets most of its energy from non-renewable sources, such as coal and nuclear energy. Google ranked among the top for "clean" energy. They get alot of energy from solar and wind power plants making them more earth friendly. Check out the article to find out more.
