25. 3. Making it Sustainable!

26. “Data centers are power-
hungry, and Facebook's
Oregon center in Crook
County is no exception,
using 28MW. While that's
fairly standard, it has
doubled the power use of
the county...
The entirety of Crook
County uses just under
30MW...

27. “Facebook’s energy
mix was 23 percent
green, 27 percent
coal, 17 percent
natural gas, 13
percent nuclear, the
company said...
While the remainder
was uncategorized,
it can include all the
above energy
sources...”

Rethink the layers gotta catch ’em all?
*efficient software

31. But -
We need to do this together!
