Google is into searches, information, maps, adverts, trends, video, phones, gunning to own a bunch of the wireless spectrum, and it's even sorta in the transportation biz. Now the company is putting some of its vast resources into alternative energy. And here's what we like about this: Quote GOOG co-founder Mr. Page, they seek to "apply the same creativity and innovation to the challenge of generating renewable electricity at a globally significant scale." Google uses a lot of power; it's not too far afield from its business concerns to want a cheaper solution; credit the company for being unafraid to put that cash into moral concerns as well.
