Google continues to push for more efficient data centers.
but a suggestion
They really need to publish in terms of kg CO2e per unit computation. Some of their data centers are largely run on hydropower (there are issues of how much extra CO2 is emitted in the lakes behind the dams, but those are complex issues and can probably be ignored for existing dams) and others are probably in regions with a high percentage of power from the burning of hydrocarbons.
Efficiency is great and Google is a fantastic example, but power sourcing can be even more important.
