To celebrate, I decided to try and integrate a new feature into Clew :Clew:, my brand-new independent search engine. Using a dataset from the Green Web Foundation, results from sites known to use hosting providers powered by green energy will get a very slight rankings boost and a pretty badge.
I'm aware this isn't a perfect method/dataset by any means, but I think it's a good experiment to try. We'll see how it goes, together, and I'm very open to hearing your thoughts and feedback about this. I may or may not keep this going forward, or may change to a completely different dataset or calculation method. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
