Lucas123 writes: A new report authored by several environmental groups say data shows more than half of Fortune 100 companies collectively saved more than $1.1B annually by reducing carbon emissions and rolling out renewable energy projects. According to the report, 43% of Fortune 500 companies, or 215 in all, have also set targets in one of three categories: greenhouse gas reduction, energy efficiency and renewable energy. When narrowed to just the Fortune 100, 60% of the companies have set the same clean energy goals. Some of the companies leading the industry in annual clean energy savings include UPS ($200M), Cisco ($151M), PepsiCo ($121M) and United Continental ($104M).

But how come it COSTS Germany so much? by Anonymous Coward · 2014-07-01 11:13 · Score: -1, Troll

Germany sells its excess DAYTIME power at a huge loss but then needs to buy it at NIGHT for HIGH prices. Hm? Germans' electric bill has gone up by 400 percent the last few years. Why? Hm? Believe the numbers, not the spie!
