On a different note, has anyone read about the impact that wind farms have on the environment? I am all for sustainable energy, but it is interesting how no matter what we do, there is a potential for damage. For example, massive wind farms have shown to decrease the air flow behind them (common sense), but this can also affect the temperature by a couple of degrees. In some instances, it also forces the wind towards the ground, thus drying the soil beneath. Just a couple of interesting points, take it for what its worth. I'm not sure how it would have a large scale affect, then again, neither did our ancestors when they began burning oil, wood....]]>Jul 23rd 2009 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/
You make great points. Those are the things that must be considered before our non-scientist legislators make hasty decisions.

I wouldn't be one to say that we should go blindly into new areas, nor would I say that the effects shouldn't be researched; it is more that I feel that we shouldn't wait until we find perfection before we move on. Everything we do has an impact, and that is ok, so long as the impact is moderate in scale and magnitude, and within the limits of the natural homoeostasis of the planet.

So IMO I figure we should continue researching, but continue building at the same time. I admire that people are concerned about the potential impacts... if we had been that cautious during the industrial era the world would be VERY different; for better or worse.]]>Jul 23rd 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/Jul 23rd 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/Jul 23rd 2009 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/Jul 23rd 2009 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/Jul 23rd 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/Jul 23rd 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/Jul 23rd 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/

You can dramatically decrease power needs for heating/cooling by building underground and using geothermal pumps. Geothermal works the same and just as well in a hot climate as a cold one. ]]>Jul 27th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/
Overall, your points are good. However, you are leaving out hydroelectric power, which would no doubt be built in the same river that could be used for cooling. One good place for this would be Quebec and eastern canada where it is a cool environment and they get nearly 100% of their power from hydroelectric dams. I'm sure there are others, and certainly the nordic countries would be great place for servers as well to server eastern europe.

I've heard of geothermal for heat, but not for cooling? I assume it would be taking advantage of the constant, year-around cooler temperature underground. (60 degress maybe?) ]]>Jul 27th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/baryonyx-to-build-largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-the-us-power-ma/http://ezinearticles.com/?Offshore-Dedicated-Server-Hosting---Why-Consider-Hosting-on-Anonymous-Dedicated-Servers?&id=2968254]]>Sep 29th 2009 8:33PM
