Interview with Google's Gardener.

Now that Earth Day has concluded I am more than sure that everyone is ready to take on the challenge and save this world, right? The big question is how? Well today I may have found one of the simplest ways that you can help save the environment and you don’t even need to get out of your computer chair. How is this possible??

Google launches new website devoted to clean energy ---- pretty cool!!!

While it's true that many organisations are looking to reduce their carbon footprint, it's also the case that much of the green hype is unfounded. Besides, there's plenty of evidence that planting-a-tree missions are a misguided approach to reducing carbon emissions.

Earth Hour is today (!!!), and even huge Google has got into the act, turning itself black. This should help to bring a lot of attention to Earth Hour...

As usual, Google is at the forefront of, well, everything. But this one is a little surprising: their philanthropic branch, Google.org, is putting $10 million into plug-in electric hybrid research and real-world testing.

Google has put a slew of hybrids and plug-ins to the test with real drivers on real roads. And it's uploading the results right now, straight from each car's laptop and wireless data card to this website, using a home-grown methodology.

Dan Reicher, Google.org, is interviewed at the WIREC conference about where Google's renewable energy programs launched last year will go this year.

The Aquaduct Mobile Filtration bike has won the Google Innovate or Die competition and will help developing nations carry and clean water to their villages.

the chief electricity offer became obsolete at the beginning of the 20th century. are they going to makea comeback now at the beginning of the 21st c?

In a surprise announcement on Tuesday Google made public it's plans to become involved in the Green Energy industry.  Given that a solar power plant can cost anywhere between half a billion and a billion dollars or more, it appears Google will concentrate on perfecting solar technology rather than get into the utility business

"If we meet this goal," said Google co-founder Larry Page, "and large-scale renewable deployments are cheaper than coal, the world will have the option to meet a substantial portion of electricity needs from renewable sources and significantly reduce carbon emissions. We expect this would be a good business for us as well."

Saul Griffith, President & Chief Scientist, Makani Power, outlines what is needed to grow renewable energy sources and how Makani's high-altitude windpower fits into that. Makani is allied with Google for the search engine's RE<C renewable power initiative.

Bill Gross, Chairman, eSolar, describes eSolar's utility-scale energy technology and the objective of the company to develop cheaper renewable power. Thecompany is involved with Google's RE<C green power initiative.

Google announces a new strategic initiative to develop electricity from renewable energy sources that will be cheaper than electricity produced from coal. The new initiative known as RE< C, will focus initially on advanced solar thermal power, wind power technologies, enhanced geothermal systems and other potential breakthrough technologies.
