If two years ago activists have Greenpeace protested against the way he uses Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), electricity in its data centers this year Greenpeace praises Apple to protect the planet. In a new report on renewable energy, Greenpeace claims that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, Google si Facebook are innovators of renewable energy, Apple receiving three A grades and one B grade in the ranking regarding the ways in which renewable energy is obtained for its data centers.
Apple's aggressive pursuit of its commitment to power the iCloud with 100% renewable energy has given the company the inside track among the IT sector's leaders in building a green Internet. Apple has made good on its pledge by building the largest privately owned solar farms at its North Carolina data center, working with its utility in Nevada to power its upcoming data center there with solar and geothermal energy, and purchasing wind energy for its Oregon and California data centers.
According to Greenpeace, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), uses renewable energy to supply the entire electrical energy requirement of the data centers iCloud, solar, wind and geothermal energies being used in the 4 data centers of the American company. Apple is also praised for the transparent way in which it presents data on obtaining renewable energy for its data centers, Tim Cook being the main supporter of the use of this type of energy in Apple buildings.
In total, 86% of the electricity used by Apple for its buildings is renewable, those from Cupertino hoping to reach a percentage of 100% in the coming years.
