"Green technology" is a fairly broad term, covering developments in a variety of industries. In addition to I.T., progress is being made in diverse sectors including energy providers, architecture/landscape design, manufacturing, engineering, and more. The federal government is making an investment in a number of these areas through stimulus money, with goals of job growth as well as cost savings:

Locally, efforts are also being made in private industry. One example is Elgin's Wesa Automation/MKD Electric, which has been developing new industrial manufacturing techniques to help companies cut energy costs:

As mentioned in the above article, we're likely to continue seeing growing emphasis on green technology in the corporate arena, due to its demonstrated cost savings.
This carries over into the world of I.T., as more energy efficient networking equipment (including major items like servers, desktops, and monitors, as well as peripherals like printers, routers, etc.) can help companies realize significant savings on utility bills. In addition to reducing energy usage, utilizing various settings and configurations for putting equipment to "sleep" when not in use can prolong hardware life, reducing the frequency of new equipment purchases.
