The Register reports today that Google’s philanthropic arm will invest tens of millions of dollars in renewable energy.
“Cheap renewable energy is not only critical for the environment but also vital for economic development in many places where there is limited affordable energy of any kind,” Google co-founder Sergey Brin said.
In true tongue-in-cheek Register fashion, the reporter notes, “Google’s founders believe the firm’s experience in data centres and bot-vs-bot advertising mean this relatively small investment will nonetheless overturn the established energy economy in short order.”
