HyperMiling, HyperPUE, and now Hyper-Green

HyperMiling was selected the 2008 word of the year by New Oxford American Dictionary.

Making jest I wrote about HyperPUE.

One nice thing Microsoft did was add a link to donate  to a NPO

Do something for the environment
Microsoft has donated $20,000 to TechSoup - a nonprofit organization dedicated to refurbishing computers for use by underprivileged communities. This donation will help meet technology needs and reduce e-waste. You can support the movement for cleaner, more accessible technologies by donating to TechSoup as well.

I wonder if HyperGreen will be a new term as well for the fanatical green efforts and to the extremes of Ed Begley, and Bill Nye the science guy.
