the "facts"?
texas has the highest electric rates in the country, and the hydro power california imports is green.
google does have a server farm in california...and dozens more spread around the country and the world. they do not have two farms in the same state.
intel does have plants in california, the phoenix plant mentioned (actually chandler, intel already had a plant there) was won by az giving a huge amount of incentives to intel. while that's az's right, it has nothing to do with any california green initiatives.
the falacy of the article is it's apparent goal of pitting environmentalism as being directly opposed to economic growth. that simply is not the case. in fact investing in new technologies that are environmentally clean is a prescription for economic growth.
one can have economic growth while also being good stewards of our planet.
