Carbon Reduction Commitment

Thanks to Jeremy for forwarding a link to a post about the implications to data centers buried within the UK Climate Change Act 2008:

The main purpose of the CRC is a mandatory carbon reduction and energy efficiency scheme aimed at changing energy use behaviors and further incent the adoption of technology and infrastructure. While not specifically aimed at Data Centers (its aimed at everyone) you can see that by its definition Data Centers will be significantly affected.

This is a UK government piece of legislation and the European legislature is clearly leagues ahead of the US but I anticipate that the current administration will be playing catchup......
