		<description><![CDATA[Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a metric used to determine the energy efficiency of a data center. PUE is determined by dividing the  amount of power entering a data center by the power used to run the  computer infrastructure within it. PUE is therefore expressed as a  ratio, with overall efficiency improving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Under a cap-and-trade (C&#38;T) emissions control  program, a regulator sets an overall cap on greenhouse gases, creates  emissions allowances (which permit the holder to emit greenhouse gases)  reflecting the cap, and then allows trading of allowances, while  gradually ratcheting down the cap and allowances to reach an emission  reduction objective.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TOU Rates charge customers varying prices depending on the time the services are used.  Currently used to apply to energy use, the policy is designed to encourage consumers to use less  power during peak hours, when demand—and prices—are highest. Similar rates apply to off peak.
