The ubiquitous technology company has posted on its blog today that is aiming to help create competitive green alternatives.
“Our goal is to build 1 gigawatt of renewable energy capacity that is cheaper than coal. We are optimistic that this can be done within years, not decades. If we succeed, it would likely provide a path to replacing a substantial portion of the world’s electricity needs with renewable energy sources.”
The effort will start by reassembling a world-class team.
“We need creative and motivated entrepreneurs and technologists with expertise in a broad range of areas, including materials science, physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, land acquisition and management, power transmission and substations, construction, and regulatory issues.”
What do you think of that? Is Google only tring to profit the ever-growing need for renewable energies or does this show a possible change amongst corporations?
