Re: Carbon Offsets - The Great Debate
Selling credits!
As my grandmother was fond of saying when she really didn't have a clue, "If it comes to anything, it will be serious".
From my own casual poll I learn that nobody seems to even know what a carbon footprint or carbon credit is. Do I just have a bunch of dumb friends?
IBM is offering to provide an energy audit to anyone switching to an IBM server. This will yeild an approved carbon credit because IBM servers use Linix. We can expect XDS to offer the same thing for switching to their secure virtual desk top; no upgrade required for hardware or softwre - ever. Measuring power to run servers is one thing but putting the computer software/hardware retail out of business - is that a plus or a minus?
