Re: If the EPA could report on 2006 usage in a 2007 document

Because the EPA hasn't (to my knowledge) done a subsequent report on data centers. (The 2011 figure comes from the 2007 EPA report.) Other organizations have produced other reports since, but either the methodology has been wobbly, the dataset has been meager, or the report has been done at the behest of a vendor with an apparent bias toward data centers. Big brother because EPA is big gub'ment.
