Green Google

Google's at it again. As part of their plan to take over the world* the company is planning on spending hundreds of millions of dollars to help end our reliance on coal and develop clean energy solutions that are cheaper than coal. They are planning on focusing on solar, wind, and geothermal systems. Sergey Brin, one of Google's cofounders has said that with Google's vast data centers all over the world, energy is a critical part of their operations. "We don't need to own this. We just need the problem to be solved."

We need more companies like Google. They have shown once again that they are out to achieve something bigger than themselves. This attitude in turn attracts more of the ridiculously talented and innovative brains the world has to offer. The company probably has more brainpower than any other organization in the world, including private companies, colleges and universities, and governments(that's kind of a no-brainer). They also have mounds of cash and capital that they are willing to put to work which will help free them from having to ask for funds from governments and special interest lobbyists that could potentially influence what they're doing. This company could in all reality probably solve any problem they decided to attack.

*Taking over the world has never been publicly stated as part of Google's business plan...but come on, lets be realistic here
