Full Media Coverage of Google's "How Green is the Internet?" event

I attended as media/press the 3rd Google Energy Summit.  I had been to the 1st, and was briefed on the presentations for the 2nd.  The third didn't focus on data centers as much and more asking questions and presenting data on the environmental impact of data centers and internet technologies.  Urs Hoelzle has been the executive sponsor for each one of these events.  Al Gore and Eric Schmidt for the first time presented their perspectives.

On purpose I choose not to write, tweet, during the summit.  There were a bunch of photographers and videographers there so I know the images and video are going to come.
