A huge congratulations to Apple facilities around the United States. They set a goal of making their facilities run completely off of renewable energy sources and it looks like they have met their goal!
A combination of geothermal, wind, and solar—like their 100-acre solar farm next to their Maiden, North Carolina data center, pictured below—provide all the juice these facilities need, obviating the need for coal. Their latest data center, currently under construction in Oregon, will reportedly add hydropower to the list.
What a great example to many other companies out there who are considering becoming renewable facilities.
