Texas Makes Green Computing Mandatory

athloi writes to mention that Texas legislators have passed a bill that would require computer companies to provide free recycling services to their customers for hardware purchased. "The bill (HB 2714) requires computer manufacturers to provide a "reasonably convenient" recycling plan that requires no additional payments from consumers. Dell and HP provided some model legislation that was used as the basis for the bill, which will only affect computers purchased for personal or home business use, but it could still encourage manufacturers to adopt efficient recycling programs that might then be applied to all machines sold."

Here in Texas, we now have all the electricity we need to take on these large environmental projects thanks to the 7 brand new pollution-spewing coal-fired power plants currently being rushed through the approval process.
