Cloud Computing can help with this problem because it can make traditional datacenters more energy efficient and thereby reduce their carbon footprint. This is because traditional data centers are often provisioned to handle sporadic peak loads that can lead to low resource utilization and thereby a waste of energy. While using Cloud datacenters different workloads are able to share the same physical host and unused servers can be shut off. Through these processes it is possible that the consumption of energy is reduced (Garg 2011).
