Any initiative towards renewable energy is to be applauded in my book. Google has shown their interest in being a green company for as long as I can remember and this is another logical step for them.

Will they be able to pull this off? I don’t know, but I do know I’ll be rooting for them.

@homer – I think you’re being unfairly critical of Google. By your same logic you could argue that Google should just shut down completely since that would save all the energy it currently takes to run their servers.

No one and no company is perfect. Let’s give Google credit for trying to be part of the solution.

@homer – I disagree with your thinking. First, Google the company is different than Google’s founders.
I’d never discourage a company or an individual from doing something valuable in the world because in another area of their business or life they fall short.
Past success or perfection is not a pre-requisite for doing something amazing right now.
Maybe sometime they can take on finding alternatives to fossil fuel for their jets.
What I don’t think you can argue: their leadership is commendable.

They have a social conscience??? Next time you see Larry Page or Surgey how many thousands of pounds of fossil fuel per hour it takes to run each of their 757s and their new 767.
They could ground their planes and contribute greatly to reducing pollution and using up our non-renewable resources.

If coal burners had to pay for the carbon that they pumped into the atmosphere, then renewables would already be cheaper. This is a major flaw in our system. Dumping waste into the commons is basically subsidized by the people instead of charged to the polluter.
