Wow they're all pretty awful. Good to see Dell so high up the list though.

edit: what does fujitsu do to rate so well for climate solutions? I guess I'll have to read the link...

edit x2: read the link and greenpeace's page and it's not that immediately evident what exactly the companies did to earn their points.

Yeah the author is worried that the companies were chosen (a) based on size and (b) based in US and Japan only. The usual complaint that there's a lot of countries missing that make large contributions to climate problems. Greenpeace has a reply at the bottom of the article explaining they are keen to add other countries.

I haven't read the whole article but I noticed Greenpeace's methodology being questioned.

Ooooh, Sun is all talk, no action. 😱

They rank high though, although that "high" is still quite low.
