Twitter Flunks Greenpeace's Energy Report

Apparently, 140-characters gobbles up a lot of energy. Twitter ranks as one of the worst offenders on Greenpeace’s #ClickClean report, examining the energy habits of the top internet companies around the world.

The report took a look at four factors that make a company “green”: energy transparency, commitment to renewable energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy use and advocacy. And Twitter scored Fs in nearly every category.

Twitter – despite not owning any of its own data centers – is conspicuously silent about the type and amount of electricity it uses.
