Abstract
With increased energy-efficiency of any commodity the total energy consumed typically actually rises. We study the potential reduction of the environmental impact by smart configuration of optical networks in combination with renewable energy sources. We present approaches to effectively cut down emission of green house gases, instead of simply improving energy-efficiency.
