Would be good if Greenpeace had compared apples with apples.

Speculation on a data warehouse which isn't yet open vs ones that already are is an interesting way of getting a point across. Interesting and bold assumptions about 'the energy grid in that area', too. What if the energy bought by Apple was the entire percentage of green energy available?

Nonetheless, nothing like a good shot across the bow of the Apple mothership to let them know Greenpeace is on their case.
