States go green with Google, Intel
| November 9, 2007 |  View for printing |
“The average desktop PC currently wastes half of the power it receives,” said Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, NGA chair. “Having states increase the energy efficiency of their computing equipment will save consumers and taxpayers money, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.”
Today the National Governors Association announced a partnership with the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a program started by Google and Intel to bring together manufacturers, businesses, organizations and individuals to increase the energy efficiency of computers and servers.
The partnership between NGA’s Securing a Clean Energy Future initiative http://www.subnet.nga.org/ci/scef/ and CSCI is designed to spur deployment of energy-efficient computers and servers in state offices. NGA’s SCEF initiative, launched in July, is an effort to enlist all governors to enact clean-energy policies at the state level.
