Today, three to five percent of all U.S. power usage us being drawn into data centers, which is significant enough to invite regulatory attention around the sources of energy and levels of efficientenergyusage.
The question is whether the regulatory structure of an economy as a whole allows, let alone encourages, business to make efficient decisions about energyusage and by extension emissions.
What is important is that by having energyefficient operations you are not only getting significant cost savings by reducing your overall energyusage but also reducing your carbon footprint as a derivative.
What if there were a mobile app that used a combination of these data, your own usage patterns, and financial incentives for purchasing energy-efficient appliances to help you make informed decisions as you walked around a retail store looking at new appliances?
