Default iCloud power to come from the sun?

I have been hearing stories that somewhere in North Carolina they are putting in a solar-powered building which will generate power to the iCloud. I think this is an awesome idea, and I hope it's true!

Yep, Apple is planning it: http://gigaom.com/cleantech/apple-bu...r-data-center/. I wonder about the environmental impact of clearing 170 acres and putting up a "power farm"...
