Google Throws Money Into the Wind

[ssddx]

[citation][nom]elitebow[/nom]Google already gets 30% of its power from solar panels at its California campus..I wonder how close it is to 100% green power consumption with this investment[/citation]
just a tidbit for your information: solar panels and solar farms in general contain some rather toxic chemicals. The cost per megawatt is very high for this energy source as well.

Sorry to state so many facts, just trying to spread some awareness.

I read the full article in the Wall Street Journal. Google simply invested in two wind farms located in North Dakota. That's all.

True they're going to concur the world but not with nukes... with gadgets and internet and buy simply buying everything that can't invent or create... it's kinda like if Microsoft didn't lose the publics love by being dick heads they'd own us all by now And I'd like to take this opportunity to once again pledge my alliance to the future google empire so I can avoid being cleansed

Great, now google can power their own servers, and can become even free-er than it already is!
