NGA’s Securing a Clean Energy Future Initiative Pledges to Reduce Greenhouse Gases by Deploying Energy Efficient Computers in States

The National Governors Association (NGA) today announced an innovative clean energy partnership between the NGA Chair’s Initiative Securing a Clean Energy Future (SCEF) and the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI), founded by Google and Intel, to spur deployment of more energy efficient computers and servers in state offices and agencies.

"The average desktop PC currently wastes half of the power it receives," said NGA Chair Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. "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. This is another great opportunity where states can help lead the way to a cleaner and more secure energy future."
