Solar panels help it:

    -----
    Today¹s updated Apple Headquarters Spaceship campus plans include
    a roof made almost entirely out of solar cells, according to
    details released today. With a building as large as Apple¹s, that
    puts it in the top corporate solar installations in the world and
    the biggest in the US. The current title holder is the 4.26 MW
    system in Edison New Jersey and another being built by ToysRus in
    sunny NJ is rated 5.38MW
    -----

Still, even that is not enough power -- so I am curious as to what they are
using to do the rest? An off-site solar farm?

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
