EPA Reaches Goal On Data Center Study

1sockchuck writes "After initially struggling in its effort to find data center operators willing to share data about their energy usage, the EPA extended the program by a month and has managed to recruit 215 facilities to participate in its program to help the government develop an Energy Star program for data centers. An EPA official says there are no plans to regulate the data center industry."

US Data Centers Wary of Sharing Energy Data With Feds

1sockchuck writes "The EPA has been seeking at least 100 data center operators willing to share data about their energy usage to help the government develop an Energy Star program for data centers. Thus far, only 54 data centers have signed up, which suggests that few data center operators are eager to tell the government exactly how much energy they are using. The EPA issued a report to Congress last year on data center power usage, and is already developing an Energy Star program to rate servers. Can a program designed to rank the energy efficiency of appliances and computer monitors be a useful tool in addressing the enormous energy consumption of data centers?"

Pressure increases on EU to regulate nanotechnology

Last week, we covered the report in Nature Nanotechnology regarding the possible health hazard posed by some forms of carbon nanotubes. This finding comes a year after a call by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to oversee nanotechnology in order to safeguard against possible dangers. Now, the same call is being made, but to the European Union, not the EPA.
