Apple's Data Centers Now Running on 100% Renewable Energy
This is some pretty deceptive marketing. Apple's data centers still run on coal in places like North Carolina because that's is what is producing the electricity on the grid.<p>Their renewable projects produce a decent amount of electricity, but one of the most critical issues of the electrical grid is stability and solar, even with the fuel cells does not provide enough electricity on cloudy days or over night.<p>Solar, wind, biogas and other renewables rely on coal in places like North Carolina to keep the grid running. This marketing might make some people feel good, but it is deceptive.
