(OilPrice) Amazon and Twitter have received “Fs” on their renewable energy report cards issued by Greenpeace, for inadequate commitment to renewable energy as a large percentage of Internet traffic remains powered by dirty energy.
According to a Greenpeace report released on Wednesday, only 15% of Amazon’s massive Internet traffic is powered by green energy, while Twitter, which doesn’t use energy hungry data centers, has a long way to go in making its micro-blogging service more efficient and energy transparent.
Apple Inc., Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. caught the flip side of the report, with Greenpeace noting that these companies had made significant progress in adopting renewable energy sources to power their web services.
