Clean Energy 2030: Google’s plan to save the world
Tech website Ars Technica has a story on Clean Energy 2030: Google’s plan to save the planet
The Google plan is nothing if not ambitious. To begin with, Google proposes a massive push toward energy efficiency, which will reduce electricity demand to 2008 levels (accounting for around 1,000 terawatt hours/year. It also calls for a complete cessation of oil and coal for power generation (currently, coal provides around half of the electricity used in the US). Taking up the slack would be wind, solar, and geothermal power generation.
Google is great! — DS
