Google going for Solar

This is a smart and well run company. Google and Apple are two US companies to be proud of.

clipped from tech.cybernetnews.com Can you just imagine all of the power that the Google servers eat up in a days time. I’m sure their electric bill isn’t pretty. Google is usually on top of things though, and they are in this situation with the use of solar power, in particular “solar trees.” Google has started a massive project of covering their campus with solar panels. Solar trees as they’re called, are solar panels that are mounted on poles and will cover the parking lots. They’ll also play the dual-role of shading the mounds of cars as well. Clever, isn’t it? Besides the solar trees, Google will also be adding solar panels to cover most of the buildings.
