Google and its Billion Dollar Problem

earthday06.gif According to The E-cclesiastic Manifesto, Google spends a billion dollars a year for cooling. That’s billion with a B. For cooling.

Google produce so much excess heat in their day-to-day operations that it takes them the same amount of money to dissipate that heat as it would to give every last human being on the face of the planet 2 pieces of Bazooka brand bubble gum at its retail cost, annually.


With all this cooling going on it ain’t going to be easy for Google to become carbon neutral, one of their goals but kudos for trying.
