HostGator goes green

HostGator recently announced that all of their shared and reseller web hosting servers are now 'wind-powered'.

"HostGator has purchased certified Renewable Energy Credits representing 130% of the electricity used to both power and cool every last one of our shared and reseller servers!

Just how big a dent in climate change does that make?
It's the equivalent of:

Removing 444 cars from the road for a year, or
Powering 321 homes with clean energy for a year, or
Saving 5,654 barrels of oil, or
Protecting 551 acres of forest for a year"

All of HostGator's wind credits are generated in their home state of Texas.
