I think there are companies out there who are looking to be good corporate citizens, and not just good "corporate citizens," if that construct makes sense. In other words, I think there are companies out there who will be good corporate citizens only if it's by default or a side-effect of saving money. Although the result is the same for both groups, so I'm not sure if it matters in the end. Sam, thanks for your comments, and I agree with you.

You are correct in that data centers aren't going to "Go Green" for the sake of "Going Green", as the initial driver of undertaking such an initiative is predominantly saving money on the bottom line. However, Green IT initiatives are a subset of Sustainability, and by implementing such an initiative you become a better "corporate citizen"; that is, you become a steward of social responsibility by default.
