Australia’s Carbon Trading Initiative – Impact on Data Centre?

Australia’s gov’t is promoting a Carbon Trading Scheme.

One of the interesting outcomes will how it effects data centres given their energy consumption.

We don't know yet what the impact will be on those same working families who ditched John Howard for Rudd, nor the effect carbon trading will have on potential investments in steel, aluminium, cement, oil, gas, petroleum and other emissions-intensive industries.
