"Apple's building something new \u2014 that is, something other than a new iPhone.\nEarlier this week, Wired sent a plane down to Apple's Maiden, N.C. data center. The magazine then shared these exclusive photos of what appears to be a groundbreaking at the center, showing construction workers building the foundations of a 20,000 sq. foot structure. \nIf Wired's theory is correct, Apple is finally beginning the construction of its solar farm and Bloom Energy Fuel cells, which will convert biogas into electricity. \nThe new facilities lie northwest of Apple's already functioning data center in the North Carolina town, which is the 500,000 sq. foot home of the Apple servers used to run iCloud.\nThough Apple would say its data center is a model for energy self-suffiency, the company has come under fire from environmental advocacy group Greenpeace, which attacked Apple for building its facilities on Duke University's cheap coal and nuclear power grid.\nWhat do you think Apple has cooking in North Carolina? Let us know in the comments.\nImage from Wired"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
