Solar arrays, wind power and fuel cells all being tried as demand at data centres for energy increases

Author:...
Data centre power usage is soaring - the US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that data centre energy requirements will double in the next five years. To address that surge in energy use, some companies are turning to alternative sources of energy, including solar arrays, natural gas turbines, wind power, fuel cells and hydro power. But one big question is whether these power sources will deliver a return on investment (ROI) in the near future.
