Intel: Green Even Where There's No Clean Energy

摘要

Intel, one of the world's biggest tech companies, has topped the EPA's 100% Green Power Users list since 2008. The company buys credits equal to all its electricity from renewable sources. Last year, it purchased twice as much renewable energy as the number-two company on the list, Kohl's. Intel, which operates semiconductor fabrication plants (known as fabs) in Arizona, New Mexico, and Oregon (as well as in China, Ireland, and Israel), is a heavy user of energy, requiring about 3.1 billion kilowatt-hours worldwide per year-as much as is used by 290,000 American homes.
