Keeping up with the Future
Some might view what Google is doing with some scepticism. However, make no mistake; it is necessary if we are to keep up with a future that is coming at us faster than it ever has. Around the world, outdated energy sources and grid systems are already stretched to their capacity; many of the world's systems are just one damaging event away from a total disaster. Yet the technology sector is unable to slow down. In a world where cloud computing and virtualisation are becoming the norm, the power needs of the technology industry just continue to climb. In essence, making the world a smaller place by way of the Internet is also putting a huge strain on power systems so something has to give. Using renewable energy sources like the VIII project in the US takes considerable strain off the existing infrastructure. It allows companies like Google to save money while, at the same time, leaving more traditional energy for other consumers. The more technology companies that are able to make use of renewable energy, the better off we will all be. For technology companies like Google, the task at hand right now is to find a way to combine various renewable resources into a total package that will provide 100% of the necessary power. None of the technologies, including solar and wind, is reliable all the time. Systems need to be designed to increase both generation and storage capacity so that facilities like the Council Bluffs data centre never have need of grid power under any circumstance. That is the future we need to pursue. Source: PRWeb – http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/04/prweb11782236.htm
