Thread: google: the green energy company

NEW YORK — Google will invest heavily in a network of deepwater transmission lines to bring power from offshore wind farms, yet to be built, to states along the East Coast, the company said Tuesday.

The transmission lines, which could cost up to $5 billion over the next 10 years, would run as far as 20 miles offshore from Virginia to New Jersey. The initial phase of the project would be capable of delivering 2,000 megawatts of wind energy – enough to power about 500,000 homes.

Google Invests In Major Wind Power Project



I like that a private company is taking the initiative in the green energy sector, especially one that has the capital to really do a lot. Although, as time goes on google becomes only more and more involved in our everyday lives which makes me slightly uncomfortable...

and in texas we already have wind farms that could be producing more energy if transmission lines were built
