The article reports on the step taken by the U.S. Senate on the issue of power consumption in data centers in the United States. It is reported that on July 19, 2006, the Senate introduced a bill that would have the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review the issues surrounding power consumption in data centers. The EPA will also have to assess the industry's response in making more energy-efficient systems and determine ways to promote corporations to adopt such technology.
