Friday Nov 17, 2006

Self-professed "raving capitalist" Scott McNealy talked about Sun's eco-responsibility initiative with Charlie Rose at a TechNet panel and even showed him what our eco-effective chip looked like.

 This is what our CoolThreads processor looks like:

Energy facts, as reported by TechNet at the summit:

  • The U.S. is the world's largest consumer of oil. It accounts for 25 percent of global daily consumption, but holds less than percent of world's proven oil reserves. The Middle East by contrast holds more than 61 percent of the world's oil reserves (U.S. Department of Energy).
  • The power of the sun: All the energy stored in the earth's reserves of coal, oil and natural gas is equal to the energy from only 20 days of sunshine (Energy Information Administration).
  • Clean, renewable energy like solar and wind power currently produces roughly 2 percent of U.S. electricity. In contrast, nearly 90 percent of our electricity still comes from traditional sources such as coal and nuclear power (U.S. Department of Energy).
