Question

As cloud computing gets more popular, this phenomenon has had one unintended consequence. The Environmental Protection Agency notes that the nation's data centers are consuming more than 100 billion kilowatt-hours, which costs more than $7 billion each year—a rate that is double what they consumed six years ago. Discuss the implications of this phenomenon in terms of green computing.

Answer 1

Implications of cloud computing power on environment:

1) The power consumption rate is right away the major concerns of increase in global warming.

2) Increased power resembles increased heat among the servers in the data centers. That particularly increases overall temperature among that place. That can directly affect the living species, vegetation, diversity, chain etc.

3) Increased power consumption increases power demand to other public people right away increases power bill for all public's.

4) High voltage lines are required that in turn increases radiation on fields and living area.
