YouTube - Facebook - Unfriend Coal.flv

Facebook announced in February that it will build a massive data centre in Oregon, U.S., packed full of the latest energy efficient computers connecting on their near-addictive social networking website. But they plan to run the place on electricity made by burning coal---Yes, the dirtiest source of energy and largest single source of global warming pollution in the world!
Facebook's coal problem is representative of the IT sector's growing demand for energy. At current growth rates data centers and telecommunication networks, the two key components of the cloud Facebook depends on, will consume about 1,963 billion kilowatts hours of electricity in 2020. That's more than triple their current consumption and more than the current electricity consumption of France, Germany, Canada and Brazil combined!!
Facebook responds to public pressure. We can get facebook to unfriend coal, and show the rest of the IT sector what we're made of...
