FB says it’ll be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2020

Facebook is determined to make its energy-guzzling data centres more environmentally friendly. On Tuesday, the Silicon Valley tech giant announced that it has set itself a target of powering its operations with 100% renewable energy “by the end of 2020.” It’s also publicly promising to cut its greenhouse gas emissions 75% over the same timeframe, using 2017 as a base year.

The two goals are a significant new commitment towards green energy for Facebook, building on previous targets and giving it new concrete, measurable goals to work towards.
