I am sure it can be a sucess, read not only by professionals but also by more and more individuals who care to make a change; and would appreciate knowing who is driving it. Sounds great.

This kind of reminds me of ryanishungry.com (a pod tech blog) that my friends Jay and Ryanne work on- these clean tech blogs are highly investable. Intel is doing lots of video blogs in support of clean tech too! That sounds like a fine blog topic.

One large z9 machine can, for some workloads, handle hundreds of Linux images. z/VM is a descendant of a virtual machine system which has existed since approximately 1967 and is probably one of the most advanced VM hypervisors there is. Moving all these servers to one box will save incredible amounts of energy and also reducing cooling needs.

Do you know that by leaving your phone on the charger even after it has finished charging can really damage the enviornment? One small effort can make a huge difference. Leaving phones on the charger once they have charged wastes enough electricity to power 75,000 homes each year.

I am going green by buying a 3000$ processor, which I do not need, but which is more energy efficient. Yeay, I am saving the environment. Those type of ridiculous actions.

It is just starting, but should be really interesting. Check out GreenTech.fm Also, the new business I am launching, iRent2u.com, is completely targeted towards helping people reduce their consumption & waste through easy rentals. Hopefully we will launch at the TC20 this September, but either way we are providing ways that the normal public can easily reduce their footprint. A little here and there will go a long way in helping to reduce our massive waste & energy use in the US. I think it is great that these other great companies are leading the way in trying to find practical methods to reduce energy & waste. At a minimum it is a smart business move to reduce your costs. At best it is another sign that the world has finally woken up to the fact that we are practicing unsustainable methods in business & life. This is all very exciting for me! There's hope! And really, the guy complaining above... That is pretty weak. Don't criticize companies that are actually doing something! What a dumb thing to say. So many companies are doing nothing. Why not focus on them? Speaking of going green, we just launched a podcast related to emergent green technologies. It is just starting, but should be really interesting. Check out GreenTech.fm
