Hosting.com Buys Green Energy Blocks
May 14, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Joining in the widespread push toward a greener hosting business, hosting provider Hosting.com (hosting.com) reported Friday that it is working with Louisville Gas and Electric, purchasing “green” energy that will offset more than 1,500 tons of carbon emissions annually.
Declaring its intention of “leading the commercial sector in green initiatives,” Hosting.com says it will buy 208 “green energy blocks” for each of the next 12 months.
Each of the $13 blocks accounts for 1,000 kilowatt hours of energy produced from local renewable resources. Hosting.com says its total purchase over the next year is “equivalent to planting approximately 1,310 acres of trees, or removing 304 cars from the road.”
