Starting this week, Dell's 240,000 square-foot Oklahoma City campus will be powered by 100-percent wind energy, boosting the company's green power use by 35 percent nationwide and by 20 percent globally. But the PC maker says it has set its sights on a far more ambitious goal -- to become the 'greenest' technology company on the planet!

The Oklahoma City facility is gearing up to its part in a partnership with Oklahoma Gas and Electric company that aims to prevent 5,100 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year. By 2015 Dell expects to cut its worldwide operations' emissions by 40 percent. This will be achieved via on-site renewable-energy generation, purchasing renewable energy certificates, and further collaboration with local utilities.

"Integrating green power into our operations wherever and whenever possible is a key environmental and business strategy," said Dane Parker, director of environment, health and safety at Dell. "It's critical that our industry take a leadership role in the transition to a green economy. Aggressive energy efficiency and renewable-power targets are essential."
