I appreciate them buying credits, but as nice as those windmills and solar panels are, when the sun doesn't shine, and the wind doesn't blow, what gets burned is coal. Anyway I suppose that's more a policy issue of The Netherlands, I think it's quite shameful we still have coal plants. Those credits hide the real cost of renewable energy.

I'm not sure - they say the data center is "the first Google datacenter to be powered by 100% renewable energy from day one."

And they seem pretty serious about removing non-renewables altogether.
