Cloud computing has the potential to be more energy efficient than traditional computing by enabling better utilization of computing resources and data centers. However, cloud computing is still developing and the full environmental benefits have not yet been realized. While some view cloud computing as a greener alternative, others are skeptical or think the green benefits are overhyped. As cloud computing continues to grow, making cloud infrastructure and services more energy efficient will be important for cloud computing to truly be considered green.
