I'd have a lot more of it for Apple if they gave Greenpeace the finger and continued to use the cheapest source of energy possible for their data centers and what not.

Theoretically the Sun is the cheapest source of energy. We'd have to see their books on this but it is possible that they can set something up that would be cheaper than the status quo. Key word of course is "Theoretically".

Also, many people buy Apple products because of the supposed greenness of the company. Key word of course is "Supposed".

Anyway, I am just glad that the key word in not "Government" and rather Greenpeace here. This is the way people should get changes made. Voting with their wallet as it is said. The fact is that Apple can give GP the finger, but the gov't it could least without leaving the country.

Anyway I hope this is not a bonehead move by Apple and actually a sign that we are making progress on this technological front. On a personal level I make a lot of green decisions (buying low powered components, appliances, etc.) but the net result has to be equal or greater in my wallet or have a great effect on the environment that I want to support. I don't believe in 'random feel-good' greenness and I am certainly opposed to regulation en masse of such things.
