These corporations executives, especially innovative high tech or using same, need to re-educate themselves as to innovation, innovation in everything they do not just the product they produce. It can be done. In this case there are other less damaging ways to clear land. But even that isn't needed. The use of products already developed or improving on them in the building of the complexes can be integrated into the construction that collect the needed clean energy to be used. Purchasing and using land near by that was cleared long ago for farming or other purposes. Investing in, with other industries, new ways to develop and use what Mother Nature offers to collect energy needs. Integrate the new into the existing with little to know damage done to the existing. Certainly not doing what we've done during the previous decades of history and those lessons we learned over that time.
October 27, 2011 - Apple fails again to get on the right side of green even though it is building a solar power array
Apple is in the early stages of installing an array of solar panels for its data centre in Maiden, North Carolina, it has been revealed.
This project, code named Project Dolphin Solar Farm A Expanded, could be seen as an effort by the company to improve its environmental image after repeated criticism over its track-record in China and its reliance on “dirty” sources to power.
Unfortunately, the company is in the process of burning and clearing 171 acres of green space near its 500,000 square foot iDataCentre - built in 2009 to house data for iTunes, MobileMe and iCloud – to build a solar power array. If estimates are to be believed, the solar power would only provide a maximum of 24 Megawatts, a fraction of the estimated 40 to 100 Megawatts the data centre would require.
Ironically, a major setback to Apple’s efforts to improve its use of green sources of energy, is the damage and pollution associated with the construction of the array. read more>>>
