I had a chance to speak with Jim Black, founder of the Partnership for Sustainabilty in Delaware. Jim has also served as Chair of the Executive Committee for the Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club and was a lobbyist for the Clean Air Council.
Jim outlined how - from an environmental standpoint - building a data center at the former Chrysler site in Newark makes a lot of sense.
Here's some of the highlights:
using a brownfiled instead of a greenfield
located close to public transportation - no need for sprawl
energy generated on site would be cleaner than energy generated by the grid
There's a lot more - take a look at the video - and if you haven't done so already, sign the petition!
