Facebook planning to get dirty!

Facebook has just announced that it is building its own gigantic data center in Oregon. For the first time Facebook will have its own facility but unlike Google or Microsoft, which both built data centers in the same area running off hydroelectric power, Facebook’s facility will be powered by dirty coal.

Data centers use huge amounts of electricity and the new Facebook center will get its power from a coal-fired power plant in Idaho.

Coal is the single biggest cause of global warming and by far the dirtiest and most polluting way to generate electricity. Facebook should be choosing renewable or at least less destructive sources for its huge energy needs.

I am a Florida based UX engineer and web creative consultant. With over 12 years of demonstrated performance in commercial web production, I apply my commercial art background to the digital media realm with a deep understanding of the technology behind it, as well as the audience before it.

This is my personal blog where you'll get a peak at what I'm doing at NimbusBlue, a software and design firm where I am the Creative and UX part of the equation.

@ZeroDistortion is a founding partner and principal application architect of NimbusBlue. You can check out what he's busy dishing out on his blog or Twitter.
