Facebook Gets Slammed by Greenpeace

It's not easy being Facebook these days. There's pressure by venture capitalists to take the company public through an IPO in 2010, renewed competition from Twitter and Buzz, and lots of angry users upset at the privacy policies and connection problems. Now, the one piece of good news coming out of Facebook HQ, the opening of the "world's greenest data center" in Oregon, has been slammed by Greenpeace because it turns out the data center will be powered by coal rather than renewable energy. The company can't catch a break in this always on, always scrutinized world all companies operate in.
