I just read an article about Google's push into renewable energy resources which is based on Google's ambitious announcement on Tuesday that it intends to generate one gigawatt of electricity--the equivalent of a few power plants--from renewable-energy sources. Many people that this is a distraction and this is a PR thing in order to generate news about Google and make them feel like energy stars. However, I think that this is a good move on Google's part and shows that they are taking the lead in addressing environmental issues and global warming. Tech companies should not just be doing things in tech, I mean sure tech is the core business, but it should also lead by example in other philanthropic areas. Google has the money anyways, so it should spread the wealth.
On Technorati: Google, renewable energy
