Apple Expanding NC Green Data Center

The North Carolina data center that Apple has touted as especially earth-friendly (for having biogas-fueled generators, for one thing) will soon have a smaller companion; Apple is expanding its presence, according to filings reported over at Slash DataCenter, with another 21,000-plus square foot facility at the same site. "Apple also plans to build a hydrogen fuel-cell facility in the area, at least based on other filed permits. That would complement the solar-array installations under construction. Apple has claimed that some 60 percent of the data center facility’s power will be generated onsite. As it stands now, the Maiden facility already incorporates energy-efficient design elements, including real-time energy monitoring and analytics."

Hypocritics!

Apple,

Any company that blatantly chooses profit over the environment when the know better should be prohibited from using the word "Green" in any marketing manner until they repent. Dropping out of epeat to avoid making the new macbook pro service / upgrade friendly (at a cost of less than a millimeter)?

Apple, you are not an eco friendly company and need called on the carpet for the hypocrites that you are! Repent and change your ways, you are but green heathens!
