Renewable Energy ...

As an avid fan of city building sims and one who steadfastly refuses to place a coal, oil or nuclear power plant - I frequently opt for wind turbines or solar panels, at least until my city threatens to do away with my services! Then I plop down those mean electricity providers, sighing at the e-pollution they create but I never stop dreaming of renewable energy.

Go green!

but I provide MORE power!

ONE wind turbine :P

Which is why it was so good to read during this week that two tech behemoths are doing their part to harness renewable energy.

Google will be harnessing wind power to run its HQ - Wired.com | UtilityDive

Apple instead is turning to solar power, purchasing enough to power all its California stores, offices, HQs and a data center. - Bloomberg

Even in going green, they differ!

Not going into details but suffice to say they are throwing boatloads of money into renewable energy and I commend the effort. Now if only Singapore can do more to conserve electricity - perhaps by changing all public corridor lights with motion detectors.

I think I'll do my part now, shut down my computer, switch off the lights and head for bed.
