[svlug] renewable energy-powered webhosts?

Hey folks!

	So definitely not looking for a flame war here, but just looking for
recommendations that folks have on a webhost.  Here's the details..
With GreenGeeks shared hosting setup now.  _way_ too limited (can't even
compile).  So something a little beefier would be nice, looking at a VPS
right now.

Looking for someone that "does" renewable energy powered systems in some
way.  To me this means they either:
1) Have solar/wind/whatever on one of their facilities (a la google, etc)
2) Buy renewable energy "credits" for some [ideally all] of the energy they
consume, to make sure it is funding renewable energy projects.

Dreamhost doesn't fit either of these, they buy "carbon offsets," which
we're not into [at work.]  They do offer a cheap VPS solution, with
"unlimited" disk and bandwidth, which is attractive. They don't allow us the
option to send out our mass maillings (via civiCRM) is the other downfall to
them.

Hope that wasn't too long of a question, thanks in advance!
Ajay
