Here's a link to the original article that published the findings: http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article5489134.ece Here's Google's response: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/powering-google-search.html I tend to side with Google. It's not their fault, we live in a very energy-intensive society. Everything we do creates a carbon footprint. Google's energy/environment track record is pretty good, so this should give us food for thought about our lifestyles, not really about how well Google's doing, trying to be environmentally friendly. |

Thanks for needlessly causing the death of a baby seal, you bastard. |

Nothing to do with anything, but my brother's original theme for his best-man speech, made a month before we emigrated to Canada, was going to be 'From night-clubbing to seal-clubbing'. His girlfriend suggested a significant re-write, possibly because she saw my own best-man speech at their wedding lurking in the distance. |
