Nordman
Alan Meier and Bruce Nordman of the Environmental Energy Technologies Division are featured in a Wall Street Journal article that discusses the greening of the computer industry. As the article states, customer demand is driving the push for more energy efficient computers. From nearly every part of the marketplace — road warriors whose laptop batteries won't last through a cross-country plane ride to Wall Street brokerage houses whose server rooms cost too much to power and cool — the message has been the same: We want to use less energy.
