Rather than add a section to Get Satisfaction, I'd suggest going to where the developers of Wave hang out:

Neil Fraser replied on November 10, 2009 00:05 to the question "is gmail down? cannot connect" in Google:

It is up for me, and I don't see any outages. If it is still down, some helpful information would be:
* how long has it been down for you
* what error message do you see
* what country are you in
* have you tried https://mail.google.com (note the 's' in 'https')

Coincidentally Get Satisfaction was down for a few minutes just now.

Google is doing this. We are one of the directors of Climate Savers Computing which aims to cut computer power usage in half by next year:
http://www.climatesaverscomputing.org/

These are technologies we are already using internally. Google's data centers use about half the power of typical data centers:
http://www.google.com/corporate/green...

As a result of these and other initiatives, Google has achieved carbon neutrality for the past two years:

Neil Fraser replied on November 07, 2009 19:45 to the question "Use your influence to help the climate please! - URGENT" in Google:

Please note that Blackle (which is not a Google product) actually uses more energy than Google's white page:

With respect to influencing climate change, Google is funding a multitude of global initiatives including the RE < C project which aims to make renewable energy more cost effective than coal:

Correct. That is why google.org is funding the RE < C project which aims to make renewable resources more cost effective than coal:

If successful, it will affect the whole world, not just our corporate power grid.
