A case of a little less conversation?
I think it's heartening that IT managers are thinking about the environmental impact of technology -- and the board about the obvious business case for increased energy efficiency.
However, according to IT Week: "The vast majority of IT chiefs regard improving energy efficiency as an increasingly important priority but relatively few have taken practical steps to reduce their energy footprint."
Now is definitely the time to take steps to reduce energy consumption, globally.

Hi Tom,
It would be interesting here to have a pragmatic look at what options are actually available. I mean, beside the typical middle/upper-management beauracratic restraints over budgets and what is allowed, especially regarding doing things that are not considered standard, most IT professionals are not even aware of what steps can actually be taken to be more efficient (aside from such steps as turning monitors off and shutting down non essential workstations).
