Green IT

This is a very topical subject and recently I did a 'My take' section in Computer Weekly magazine and there was a story about IBM publishing green metrics for data Centres. My comment was that this was great but wouldnt it be good if a neutral body such as the British Computer Society (BCS) or similiar could publish some best practices. There are a lot of ideas around, some good and some not so practical but if somebody could co-ordinate them then we may have something to aim at?
What do you think? or is there something already out there?

There are a number of organisations who have started to publish reports on data centre energy use - EPA,Merill Lynch (in the States),BCS and the EU. I can point you at their sites if you haven't picked up on them since you posted your comments.
