    This is 100% green energy because they bought enough green certificates on the market.

      The US does not have a functioning certificate market, does it? And ind the EU those ultra durty gas turbines are illegal for use as power plant replacement for data centres, aren’t they?

    It can’t go with out commenting that the current US Administration is actively and irrationally hostile to any alternative forms of energy.

      It’s not irrational. They’re being paid to actively denigrate and deny the benefits of clean energy.

        I mean, Trump has a weird vendetta against wind power after some wind turbines were built near one of his golf courses.

            I think you are confusing something here. He paid a German company to stop a wind power construction project in the US.

          weird vendetta against wind power

          It’s not weird, it’s extremely simple. He’s a child. He doesn’t like the look of them, so he hates them. And since he hates them, they’re bad. Even if they’re in the middle of nowhere.

    Very good, considering how much Google’s revenue has risen over that time.
