How to Reduce Data Center Waste

It is the silent killer of IT budgets in every industry, for companies of virtually every size: runaway electricity consumption in the data center. Regardless of the ongoing debate about carbon footprints and climate change, Knowledge Center contributor Andy Dominey explains here the most compelling reason for IT executives to pay closer attention to this issue: the opportunity to achieve dramatic and immediate savings by reducing data center waste. – The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that the computer
servers in this country recently consumed 61 billion kilowatt-hours
(kWh) in a single year. That is about1.5 percent of all electricity consumed in the country
a $4.5B expense. The problem is not about to go away, either. Con…

Barack Obama’s bipartisan summit on health policy accomplishes more than meets the eye

IT IS tempting to dismiss the bipartisan health-reform summit convened by Barack Obama on Thursday February 25th as a colossal waste of time. After all, the gabfest involving senior Congressional leaders from both parties lasted well over six hours, with no tangible results. Neither side moved one jot on any issue of substance and not one vote is likely to have changed on either side as a result of the summit.

And yet, the televised gathering was not pointless. For one thing, the sight of America’s leading politicians sitting together amiably for an entire day to discuss a matter as inflammatory as health reform (think “death panels”) was itself heartening. Surprisingly, given the bitter partisan wrangling of late, they did so in a manner that was mostly civil and substantive. Towards the end of the long day, Joe Barton, a House Republican from Texas, even declared that he had never seen “so many members of the House and Senate behave so well for so long before so many television cameras.” …

Ethanol from rubbish is the latest biofuel

OVER the past decade, biofuels have been a disappointment. There is no denying their promise: clean-burning fuel that could reduce a country’s dependence on foreign oil. But America’s attempts to produce biofuels from corn and soyabeans—hoping to replicate Brazil’s success with sugar cane—have failed dismally. All the ethanol subsidies for Midwestern farmers ever did was raise food prices globally.

Moreover when all the environmental factors were taken into account, using biofuel made from corn or soyabeans proved to be worse environmentally than burning an equivalent amount of petrol refined from oil. In some studies, it actually increased carbon emissions by as much as 50% over that produced by fossil fuels. …
