More Data Centers Using On-Site Solar Power

1sockchuck writes "Solar power hasn't been widely used in data centers because it takes a very large installation of photovoltaic solar panels to generate the levels of energy required by these facilities. But the month of April has seen the debut of four new data centers featuring on-site solar arrays."

This must only be bullshit. Everybody knows solar power is a pipe dream and will never be viable. Data centres should be burning good ole coal and oil, or even tires.

This solar power silliness reminds me of those crazy dudes in the past wasting all taxpayers' money to invent flying machines. Or cures for infections. Or transmitting images over the air in "invisible" waves. All pipe dreams.
