Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) may start pushing for a cost-savings initiative that would help save the company roughly $1.2 million per year and reduce carbon emissions.  It involves shutting down computers at night.  The program will be called PC Power Management.  A managed shutdown will take place through Microsoft Windows and it will occur each night and during the weekend.

Computers will wake up during pre-selected non-business hours to receive updates.  About 60% of Ford’s computers stayed on after business hours.  The company expects that this will help reduce their carbon footprint by about 16,000-25,000 metric tons.  [Autoblog]
